If we consider luxury to be anything beyond basic survival, then yes, all books are luxuries. We do not need books. No one has died for lack of them.

If we consider luxury to be the things that make us comfortable and happy, then books are definitely a luxury.

If by luxury you mean decadent and wasteful lily-gilding excess, then no, they aren't.
