The area now known as Book Book lies on the traditional lands of Wiradjuri people.
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. There was also a village hall at which dances and other social events were held. There were also Anglican church services held there.
There was a public school at Book Book that first opened, as a 'half-time' school, in October 1924 and closed in December 1987.
