Spellbooks can show your learned spells. Ever since the Summer Update 8.2, they also provide a source of defense from attacks, and best of all, can raise a mage's magic level by different amounts.
Spellbooks are one-handed and go in your shield slot; however, they can go in the arrow slot but no affect will occur on your magic level. In relation to normal shields, spellbooks have very low defense, so may not be as attractive to people on a solo hunt, but better used in a team hunt where the mages don't have to take hits.
