You can only wish for those if you (a) know what to wish for (b) do it in a timely manor (c) can survive to get to it. It's not direct. Furthermore those books can be pretty worthless to many classes (at least I haven't used them the past many times I've saved Khelly since I haven't played spell casters in a long time).
I wouldn't be against it if it was implemented. But if my pre-crowning luck is any indicator of what i might get I might stick to wishing to normal things.
Also, I got a wand of wishing and with the second to last one I wished for !ofUselessness on my last play through. Got Perions platemail and didn't use it. Not sure I would risk a random artifact when their are definite great things you can wish for.
