Morphology
The meaning 'the value recorded in the company's books' is directly derivable from combining 'book' (here: the company's written financial records) with 'value' (worth). This noun-noun compound follows a clear compositional pattern found in many languages, so learners who know both constituents can infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The noun book value may come from the simple idea of a company's book, a record where amounts are written, and the value shown there after you take away how much the item has lost over time. So, book value means the amount recorded in the company's records, not the price you would get if you sold the item.
