Yes, the visitor book may have a book being kept on their bench as well. But for the purposes of keeping score, fouls, AP, etc., there is ONE official score book. So why would you even bother consulting something that is unofficial??

Actually it's not what's in the book, it's the team list as supplied prior to the 10 minute mark.
