What OS?
The preview might be off screen (ghost second monitor)

Perhaps you've hidden Preview in the Book editor and the Search bar in the GUI (Library manager) via the relevant keyboard shortcut toggles. The defaults are

Book editor->Preview: Alt+Shift+P (it's in the Windows group)
Library manager->Search bar: Alt+Shift+F (it's in the Main window layout group)

The "Library Manager" is the program that starts when you run calibre, will look something like this ("Edit book" button marked):

Name:	Library Manager.jpg

If you don't use, or only make limited use of keyboard shortcuts, I suggest you go into Preferences->Shortcuts and set the ones you'll probably never use to None… particularly those that show/hide user interface elements like the Search bar, Tag browser etc. Ditto the Book editor.

There's an All Actions feature you might find useful, you can show it in the status bar (Preferences>Look and feel), or add it to a toolbar or menu, I have it my book list context menu:

I had a stroke 20+ years ago, I forget people's identities and to a lesser extent their faces… particularly if I encounter them somewhere I don't normally see them.
