Can a Spellbook gained during a Battle be used in that same Battle?

The designer answered this directly, and the rule matches the timing of Battle results in the rulebook.

No. A Spellbook earned during a Battle is received only after the whole Battle resolves, so it cannot be used in that Battle. Its requirement can be met mid-Battle, and kills that happen before the Battle count toward it. Posters recall an older allowance for Cthulhu's Devour, but the designer's reply is no.
