You Can Make Book On That Edit Meaning

1.

This expression can be used in reference to quickly explaining an idea, motive or action to make a very firm point. It's a way of saying that something is certain and will happen no matter what. The use of the word 'book' is synonyms with 'print.' Once something is printed (i.e. newspaper, novel), it is permanent.
