Advantages of Using a Book

the subject is usually covered in-depth
the subject can be put in an historical context
books can give a more complete analysis of a subject
some books give summaries of a subject
books from the better publishing companies go through an editorial process that checks the information in the book and the qualifications of the author

Disadvantages of Using a Book

it takes time to publish a credible book so it won't provide information on something that has recently happened
it is becoming easier for individuals to publish their own books without it having to go through an editorial or checking process to make sure the facts are correct or the author knows what he/she is writing about
