Here is one link from Wilton with an example of doing a fondant book.

If you are more going for stacked books, Debbie Brown has several books that have other examples:

Hope this helps some!

Well I've never made one, but it seems like you would cut a piece of fondant to run along 3 sides, then score to look like pages. The 2nd piece of fondant goes underneath the cake, then folded over the remaining side and top. I'm not sure how hard that would be though.

Seems like that was part of the tutorial on the owl cake on this site, maybe that will help a bit.

Good luck!
