Book Defined

The first six tricks taken by declarer. Only tricks in excess of book are counted for fulfilling the final contract. (To make a contract of 4S, you must take 10 tricks -- 6 for book plus the 4 named in the bid).
Book also refers to the number of tricks the defenders must win before they can begin earning a score for defeating a contract. (If the opponents' contract is 3D, book for defenders is 4 tricks - if they take a fifth trick, they defeat declarer's contract and earn a plus score.)
