Perhaps it's a naive dream, but hey, anythings possible in Pathfinder right?

The idea is a Spellcaster who uses a a spellbook but can cast any spell from his book. I realize this would clearly be overpowered as a base class, overwhelming both sorcerer and wizard, but what kind of drawback could make it balanced?

My first though is a prestige class, a sorcerer/wizard combo as a prereq, that gains the ability after X levels in the prestige class. But that might be my inner 3.5 talking. I thought maybe some kind of feat, but that seems overpowered for just one feat, maybe a serious of feats like the prereqs to get Spring Attack. Maybe a 20th level wizard could take a feat to allow it.

Any thoughts? Optimism please, I want ideas on how to make it possible and balanced, cuz I already see how 'improbable' it is.
