Wikibooks has always been slightly loose in the definition department. Basically, it is as its tagline shows, a library of textbooks. These text books range in their subject matter as much as their contributors do. Another thing to keep in mind is that on projects other than Wikipedia, original research is what they thrive on.
The textbook in question, I believe, *does* meet the scope of the project. Any textbook that someone wants to read is acceptable (for the most part :P)

The Meta entry on Wikibooks http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks is not very thorough. How is a "textbook" defined? How is it defined what fits on Wikibooks or not? Is "Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter" http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Harry_Potter a suitable Wikibooks project? Why/why not?

I think it would be suitable. It's no it's own work of fiction, it's a guide to one. ~~~~
