Likewise. I could have sworn that it was explicitly stated, too, but...

It doesn't actually state that the grimoire must be present in the rules text, but this is very clearly the intention. The strongest articulation comes in one of the examples: "If he is in a place where he feels safe taking his grimoire, he can instead cast the spell using his [Use Grimoire] rating."
