permit/allow/encompass


Explanation:
The other explanations are good in explaining the basic meanings, but I think we need to render this a bit differently to make it sound good in English...I would recommend something like this: "This book will help you to find answers to those questions, as far as its content and quality will allow/permit/encompass."
Of my 3 suggestions, I think "encompass" fits the best.
