His face now resembled something that would have been at home in a book on poisonous fungi.

The sentence above is from the book Harry Potter.

My question is what " would have been " means here.. It's a story so it's obviously in the past tense but what the time frame of "Would have been " .is it the past of the past (Since it's written in past tense )?
was there the book at all?
