//BOOK. The tricks won by a side that have no value in the score. For the declarer, the first six tricks taken constitute his book. For the adversaries, book is the number of the declarer’s bid subtracted from seven, or the maximum number of tricks the adversaries may take without defeating declarer’s contract. The origin of the term apparently lies in the old practice of forming the first six tricks into a “book” by placing them all in one stack.//

Thanks folks.
Just to clear it for others who may look in.

Shows cards = Books (a football reference to red or yellow cards)

Six tricks = Book + S (Spades)
