From my experience, there is always at least one person that does not leave the table and I have never had the book changed when it remains on the table.

SAK,
It's not written in rule 2-11-11 that the scorer has to stay with the book at all times.
However in "INSTRUCTIONS TO AND DUTIES OF THE SCORER
FOR BASKETBALL GAMES" it states:
DURING INTERMISSIONS:
1. Either the official scorer or a delegated assistant must be at the
scorer’s table with the official scorebook at all times.
So in all actuality it's a responsibility the scorer has that the scorebook stay at the table & is under his/her (or designated assistant's) watch.
