Lightroom Classic - Book & Collections HELP

I have a collection with several folders of images I want to include in my Book. I successfully have built multiple pages  already in the saved book called "Our Family 2025" which is also saved in the Collections.  

However, all of a sudden, I can no longer access my other collections folders I havent used yet from my saved book. For example, I want to use images from folder "8 Aug Raro", but as soon as I click on that folder, the saved book disappears, eventhough I am in the Book Module and a blank new book opens. The images showing in the preview at the bottom are only the images I have already used in my book - and i have the Filters Off toggled. 
How can I access teh other folders to include in my saved Book?

    Try this-

    1) From the book Go to GRID view [G]

    2)  Choose the Collection, or Folder, of images you want to add to your book-

    eg.  The {8 Aug Raro} collection in GRID VIEW

    3) Select (highlight) the images you want to add to the book.  [Ctrl+A] for all photos.

    4) Drag these images onto the Saved Book Collection

    5)  [Double-Click] on the Saved Book Collection to re-open it in the Book Module,  Or select the book collection and [Ctrl+Alt+4]  will also return you to the Book Module.

    6) Your newly added photos will be at the end of the Filmstrip to drag into new pages.

     

    Hints:

    You can [Right-click] the Saved Book Collection to make it the Target Collection allowing you to add any photos from Collections or Folders with a simple keyboard shortcut [B] just like standard collections.

    Never go back to the top-of-screen BOOK menu to re-open a saved book.- ALWAYS reopen from the Saved Book Collection.
