I'm personally of the opinion that anything in game cannot be used to explain things in the game.  As it is, those books are "written" by the characters in the game, and as such they are not the full information.  If you found a book in the Scarlet Monestary writing about how the Scarlet Crusade was a perfect group, you wouldn't believe it, but it's true in the setting of the game, because of who wrote it. 

This comes out somewhat when you look about the history of the Tauren and the Trolls and the Elves.  Each side puts their own personal slant into things, and some of the facts in each of those books likely contradicts the facts in one of the other books.

It's sort of like looking at a history of the Civil War from a book written by a Union officer compared to a Confederate soldier.  Both of the books may be factual in the setting in which they were written, but they will have very different sounds and "facts".

I used the SM Library as a quick location to find these books. These books can be found in other places around the world and match those that are found there in SM Library. Also, those books are written with what has happened in the past Warcraft RTS games and what information has been released in novels and the like.
