You're not asking about grammar but about choice of preposition.

Sentence 1 is good because with is a good preposition to use there, and the sense is clear.

Forget about sentences 2 and 3. They're not good examples. This is not least because you've used of in both. Sentence 2 could be corrected by using either with or by (with slightly different meanings). However, it still sounds bad to use that person.

Sentence 3 is not worth correcting at all, in my opinion. What was your reason to mention books of science? It seems as if you're unclear about the meaning/use of enamoured.

My general advice to you is to use either by or with after enamoured, depending on what you mean. Even though you will find plenty of examples of native speakers using of, I advise against it.
