Books can only be used by the Librarian class, whose only representant happens to be Azra. She can equip up to 2 books at once.

Instead of increasing Attack like other weapons, books can improve the Librarian's spells or give effects in battle.

There are a total of 14 books in the game. All of them are rewards for completing bonus challenges.
