The books contents is basically just text, except for small bits of text which change the text size :
`f1 :
`f2 :
`f3 :
`p :

Shops also use books as price lists. The book contents will contain the items and prices. Some basic things about the lists:
 - First line is name of shop
 - Exclamation marks (!) are used for commenting a line
 - A typical line is :
    #4836 "Novice Bow" $8
   4836 is the item number, Novice Bow is the text shown in the list, and 8 is the price
