The area now known as Book Book lies on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people.[3]
Book Book exists now only through a set of old tennis courts and the telephone exchange that sits just off the Tumbarumba road. The tennis courts were used by a local tennis club.[4][5] There was also a village hall at which dances and other social events were held. There were also Anglican church services held there.[5][6][7][8]
There was a public school at Book Book that first opened as a 'half-time' school in October 1924 and closed in December 1987.[9]
