The ZPublisher (i.e. when you access your instance with the internet)
automatically activates "index_html" (if the object is not
callable). "dtml-var" does not. Instead, it calls the object, if
it is callable (not the case in your example), and then
converts to a string.

You can use:

    <dtml-with my_book>
       <dtml-var index_html>
    </dtml-with>
