Like you said, it may have been destroyed long ago.

It may have, admittedly, yes. But the thing about books, is that they are memories. As long as the book existed, even if it is physically destroyed and no trace of its pages remains, its contents can be recreated. It could end up not being the same exact book that it was, but everything you could possibly need to bring it back is there.
