You have to use the "What is" verb to hover basically over all books slowly. It will show "books", and sometimes only "book".

However that is really a painful work, because you have 2 lines of many many book shelves which each four sections.

But it's not that difficult. As said each of the shelves is divided into four sections. You will see a section by using "Look at" "books". Indy e.g. will say, "All about snakes. I hate snakes!" Or "Looks interesting if I weren't in a hurry."

The three relevant books are found in following sections:
bi-plane manual: "A bunch of 'How To' books."
Mein Kampf: "The Complete Works of Famous Dictators."
book of maps: "Maps of Ancient Italy. I could have fun in this section."

Sometimes all 4 sections of a shelf are the same. HOWEVER: The 3 interesting books will be found where 3 sections are the same and only one section is different. That's another hint.

So if you found an interesting section, choose the "What Is" verb and hover slowly(!) over all, that is every single, book in this section. If it changes from "books" to "book", you found an interesting book. You can use "Look at" "book" and then "Pick up" "book".

Good luck!
