reference book
Explanation:
Ada dua kemungkinan di sini:
> buku pengetahuan = buku pelajaran
> buku pengetahuan = buku pintar

Saya menduga yang kedua, yaitu buku yang berisi aneka rupa informasi yang (menurut saya sih) remeh-temeh, seperti daftar mata uang, daftar ibukota, daftar pemenang Nobel, dslb. Kalau di Indonesia, yang paling terkenal adalah karya Iwan Gayo (ref 1). Lalu, untuk terjemahannya, saya pikir ini mirip dengan reference book (ref 2).

Ref 1:
http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwan_Gayo
Ia mengumpulkan berbagai pengetahuan umum dan menerbitkan Buku Pintar Junior dan Buku Pintar Senior. ...

Ref 2:
http://www.southalabama.edu/univlib/guides/libterm.htm
Reference Book.
A book designed to be consulted for specific facts or background rather than to be read all the way through, e.g. Europa Yearbook, World Almanac.
