Hola Gerald

Positioning the adjectives in front of the nouns is generally a way of emphasising that quality to the noun they refer to. In this case, you could have said "buenos libros" here as well if that is the intention. I added that different order to the exercise as it's also correct. 

Here's our lesson on position of adjectives if you'd like to have a look
