grammar - confused about this sentence



it is simple enough to say that since books have classes, we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us



I bold the sentence that makes me confused, I can't figure it out that what does it mean, but I guess it means:




  1. we separate books


  2. we get what certain classified book should give us





am i making myself understood? need help, I don't really get this sentence :)


Answer



Without more context I cannot say what is meant by “classes”, but the bold part is not too hard: each book has something to give us; the nature of that something depends on its class; we should not try to find in a book that which is not in it.
