What is Book Mode?
The Book Mode scan setting has multiple aspects that it enables with scanning.
It will attempt to identify the curvature of the page and adjust the image to straighten the lines. This may lead to a slight distortion of the curved text.
It will automatically auto-crop each page to the immediate area of the text with a small margin of blank space.
Because it autocrops to a small margin around the text, it allows you to press down on the book with your hands to reduce curvature, and it should autocrop your hands from the scan. This is dependent on the margins of the source book.
