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, 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 competetive 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. Ramtors Spellbook and Grimoire Of Thade for example, are weapons.
