When I saw the you can "read books" to see examples that "In other worlds, North Korea's depiction of itself is strikingly close to, say, the American right wing's depiction of North Korea as a rogue state", I was curious which books those are.

By analogy, this is like writing up an essay "How 'Bob' sees himself, and why it matters", and concluding from your research that that poor sap Bob really does see himself as our US right-wingers do, and of course Bob is not around to confirm or deny the what is being claimed about how he thinks.

Opportunity for wary skepticism, yes?

I gather from the interview that Myers doesn't qualify for a North Korean library card, so the books he's referring to are probably available in the North Korean Information Center in Seoul, the Natation Archives in DC, or the Library of Congress. I don't find it suspicious that he's not dropping specific ISBNs in an interview, and substituting "Bob" for "North Korea" doesn't illuminate any opportunity for skepticism that I can see.
