Books are decorative background items that can only be obtained from inside a Dungeon. They can be knocked off their Metal Shelves with a pickaxe unlike the spell books that you have to click.
While most books serve a decorative purpose, it is also possible to find a spell book called the Water Bolt hidden among the books. The Water Bolt can be identified by hovering the cursor over books: an icon will appear if the mouse is over the Water Bolt. Normal books do not have a mouse-over icon.
They are used to craft the Bookcase, which is needed to create the magical weapons that has a "book" icon.
Once books are placed down, the graphic is randomised (six different graphics), similar to Coral and Crystal Shards, though in the inventory there is only 1 sprite.
