A '''Book''' is a type of [[item]] which raises a [[Neopet]]'s [[Intelligence]], created sometime in 1999. The exact date is unknown because [[The Neopets Team]] did not start archiving the site changes until January 2000.

After being read, the book disappears in a puff of smoke - this was a featured added on February 15, 2001 to preserve the value of books - and the Neopet cannot read that book again. A book raises a Neopet's intelligence determined by the colour of the smoke it leaves behind after being read. Since books disappear after one use and many users are competitive about having their pet read as many books as possible, some books go for very high prices.

Some items are technically books, but are not considered book items because they cannot be used like one. '''[[Ramtor]]s Spellbook''' and '''Grimoire Of [[Eliv Thade|Thade]]''' for example, are [[weapons]].

If a Neopet reads a lot of books, it's possible for the Neopet to be rewarded a special [[Neopet|trophy]], which is placed on the Neopets Lookup of the Neopet. There are two possible trophies the Neopet can earn. The first is the '''Neopian Book Award''', released on January 23, 2002, which is reached by reading any type of book to add to the total number of books read. The second is the '''Booktastic Book Award''', released on July 28, 2004, which is similar to the Neopian Book Award, except it's only given to Neopets who read the most Booktastic Books.

The trophies are rewarded to the Neopets who have read the most books out of all other Neopets on the [[Neopets (website)|Neopets website]]. If another Neopet reads more books than another, that Neopet's spot on the list is taken over, and it's possible for their trophy to be taken as well (depending where they are on the list).

==Trivia==
*On January 11, 2001, Users could now keep track of all the books their pets had read.
*On December 7, 2001, all the [[Videos]] were changed into super-rare books. The reason being that [[The Neopets Team|TNT]] felt that videos did not suit the technology level within Neopets.
