Is T.V. Guide a Book?

From Not Always Right, in a bookstore:

Customer: “No! I want the Van Helsing version [of Dracula].”

Me: “I’m sorry?”

Customer: “Yeah, in Van Helsing, Van Helsing is the main character and he fights Dracula and Frankenstein.”

Me: “That film is a complete work of fiction. Van Helsing never fought Frankenstein or Frankenstein’s monster.”

[emphasis added]

So, OK: Van Helsing is a "complete work of fiction," unlike...Dracula?
