I don't see how you use the book because you need cast it close to one of your unit so you need sacrifice it somehow or the book will be too close to your other troops.

I move forward with one fast unit and then summon 1 - 2 books, dependent if higher magic is available. Often I don't use the max movement of the unit and then go back one field after the book was summoned. The book itself can also move one field forward before casting a spell and further books can be summoned at the side of another book. Since the books are immune to magic, the are not affected by their own spells. This way it's possible to summon book armies which move forward with a strong ranged army in their back. The lightning spell has a max range. Therfore I can predict very reliable if a lightning spell can reach my own units. The books are also powerfull fighters. If they don't mess with killer stacks, they can easily attack enemy stacks and get new spells. Sometimes I don't even use their newly gotten spells and just let them fight. In contrast to phantoms they don't vanish after 3 rounds. It's a great spell with lots of possibilities, but you have to know how and when to use it.

Are you sure that the power of the book depends of the int? I hadn't quote that nor read it but I didn't tried much this spell.

It's mentioned in the description of the book.
