One reason to skip the \book was brought up in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2005-06/msg00060.html
namely that you cannot define identifiers within a \book{...}.

I don't have a running LilyPond available for the moment, but as
far as I recall, you should get exactly the same result even if you
remove the \book{...}.
As far as I know, if you have multiple toplevel music or markup
expressions, lilypond automatically makes them into a book.
Assuming that is correct, then I suppose that there's no particular
benefit to explicitly declaring
\book{
\markup{}
\score{}
\score{}
}
instead of
\markup{}
\score{}
\score{}
... but then again, I can't see any disadvantage to explicitly declaring
\book.
