def can_create_books(self):

Tests if this user can create ``Books``.

        A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A
        return of false indicates that it is known creating a ``Book``
        will result in a ``PermissionDenied``. This is intended as a
        hint to an application that may not wish to offer create
        operations to unauthorized users.

        return: (boolean) - ``false`` if ``Book`` creation is not
                authorized, ``true`` otherwise
        *compliance: mandatory -- This method must be implemented.*
