I've seen people adding a book, singular, to the references section a good few times; I assume they're treating it as "further reading" and just being helpful.

Me too. Someone made the rather good suggestion of using "Sources" and "Further reading" sections, rather than the traditional "references" and "external links", which I tend to follow. Of course, if I actually *had* any references (ie, sentence X came from source Y), then I would make a references section. Typically what I have is one source which simply confirms to the AfD brigade that the topic *is* notable, and other editors can go there to get further information.
Particularly since we demand one source from newbies wanting to start articles, we should at least follow suit.
