The text of a spellbook or a scroll can be obliterated, so as to make the work useless. While a scroll is a magical item, the written words upon a scroll are not "magic" in and of themselves; a scroll works exactly like a spellbook, except that the spell of the scroll can be cast by reading the words from the parchment. Given the potential of the spell to destroy knowledge, it can be grievous if used indescriminately.
If the spell is used to remove magically-charged writing, such as glyphs, runes or sigils, the writing is marginally protected against erase. It therefore possesses a saving throw vs. magic equal to the inscriber of the symbol.
