A node can have both child nodes and books.

It's not practical to enforce that.  That means that every time you want
to create a child category, you need to create a child category for
_every_ book in that particular node.  But imagine a node where you have
20 books, 8 of which can be grouped into a child node, but the other 12
are all different enough that they fall into groups of 1.

So you end up having to make 13 new nodes, one of which has 12 books and
12 of which have 1 book each, which sucks in terms of browsing.
