All I can add is that both forms are very common. Since present perfect ties the past to the present, both present and past tense in the dependent clause are quite natural and carry the same intent.

You can use either one. It doesn't matter whether you think of books as they were found, one by one, during the time of your search (was), or you think of them as they exist as permanent records (is).
