Because of the complexity of publishing books -v- writing something on the internet books tend to be considered more reliable however ultimately if you have enough money you could get anything published in a book irrespective of if it's true/ accurate and even if it was accurate/ considered true at the time that doesn't necessarily mean its true now. A book written in 1800 quoting the worlds population would have a much smaller value than one written today.
