A book which only mentions a theorem but doesn't go into depth is useless as 
a source. I would always cite the original paper in preference.

Every topic I am intrested in having an article for will some sort of
oblique secondary mentions - but I don't consider those to be sources for
the article, and would not include them when I add material.
