Rework the ancient champion spellbook
I think it'd be good to take a broader look at monsters with multiple books as well; there's significant cognitive overhead in dealing with a monster that has a subset of e.g. twenty spells, and a player may need to examine one monster multiple times (because they gain new information when it casts a spell, or because the monster appears with others of the same type and some of them blink, for example). The use of multiple books needs to add sufficient gameplay depth to justify that cost, and I suspect that many of the monsters that use multiple books do not do that. Such monsters could be reworked to use a single book or split into multiple monsters.
