To make it precise, it is must be written as a heirloom. It was written handed down, not passed down from parent to child meaning it was just a mere tome not a heirloom. Heirloom on Thievius Raccoonus means it was a thing that was "passed down" from generations to generations not "handed down". In many cases, things can be handed down from generations to generations as it won't be labelled as a heirloom but passed down is different like Conner Cooper's Cane that now becomes Heirloom to Sly Cooper as the Cane was passed down from Conner to Sly meaning the Cane itself also becomes a Heirloom. "I passed this book and knowledge inside it to you" means you will inherit the book as a heirloom while "I handed this book down to you" doesn't mean it was written as a Heirloom.

If you know how inheritance or passing down system works, you should notice it.
