Yeah, I'll go ahead and admit that I was not paying very much attention at all. The only part of the question I coherently heard was "the Duke and the Dauphin" and, on reflex, said the book.rhentzel wrote:A player who buzzes with the name of a book has not been paying close attention.

Re: Changes to NAQT's Official Rules
Wouldn't "this character" be a better way of putting it?

Not really? Especially considering there's a length limit.

Yeah, though it's harder to miss "this character" being definitively not "this book" or "it," while "he" is unremarkable (and might need to be used internally in a book question, so you're not as locked in to it), it's really not worth the twelve characters that NAQT could better spend on adding a fifth of a clue.
