I am not understanding why people think the blessed book is has a continuing effect on spells already writen into it. The magic seems to only effect the writing of the spell itself, not the spell once it is already written into it.
It's a good point - the item changed from 3E to 3.5.
In 3E, you could fill the Book completely with 45 1st level spells (90 pages' worth), or you could fill it completely with 45 9th level spells (810 pages' worth). Obviously, something magical was going on with the storage.
In 3.5, the Book has 1000 pages. You could fit 500 1st level spells, or 55 9th level spells plus change. No magic necessarily going on once the spells are scribed - the pages might just be Real Thin.
While I'd think a Disjunction would have a detrimental effect on the funky compression algorithms used in the 3E Book, I could see the 3.5 Book coming away as a non-magical Real Thin 1000-page spellbook that henceforth requires expenditure to scribe new spells.
