"Fewer", not "less". "Book" is a countable noun, not a mass noun.

What's your opinion on Cambridge's entry of "less and less"? More interestingly, what's the purpose of grammar policiing? If enough people use an expression, it becomes language. It's weird how people claim some type of superiority just because they subscribe to a certain phrase.
