I would assume that since the spellbook only has intellectual value to the wizard, it would be allowed, but am not sure. Any clarification on this?

Spellbooks have significant worth, so doubly no (even blank, it's worth some nice pocket money). Of course, the feat also doesn't let you carry water: a day's worth of food is mentioned, but water is not. Personally, I think the intent of the Vow of Poverty is pretty clear, despite the wording. Talk to your DM; in my opinion, there's really no other way to use the vow in an actual game than to work out with your DM what's reasonable and in the spirit of the rules.
