A book is a piece of the background that's on a different layer. It gets the same painting pass as a background, but the separation allows it to sit in front of animation to add depth. Books are also used for special 2D camera effects like Michakku Multi. Book 1 is always farthest from the camera. Drawing books is almost the same as backgrounds, but are filled with a color to indicate the book area. Books can be on the same layer as the background or drawn on a separate sheet.

Books are notated on the timesheet by encircling the book label and pointing at which cel layers it's between.

Books can be use as animation in some cases with a technique called Book 置き換え.
