The word(s) "book" appears 218 time(s) in 193 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(31) Ye People of the book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, of which ye are (Yourselves) witnesses?

(32) Ye People of the book! Why do ye clothe Truth with falsehood, and conceal the Truth, while ye have knowledge?

(33) A section of the People of the book say: "Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers, but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) Turn back;

(34) Among the People of the book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." but they tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it.

(35) There is among them a section who distort the book with their tongues: (As they read) you would think it is a part of the book, but it is no part of the book; and they say, "That is from Allah," but it is not from Allah: It is they who tell a lie against Allah, and (well) they know it!

(36) It is not (possible) that a man, to whom is given the book, and Wisdom, and the prophetic office, should say to people: "Be ye my worshippers rather than Allah's": on the contrary (He would say) "Be ye worshippers of Him Who is truly the Cherisher of all: For ye have taught the book and ye have studied it earnestly."

(37) Behold! Allah took the covenant of the prophets, saying: "I give you a book and Wisdom; then comes to you a messenger, confirming what is with you; do ye believe in him and render him help." Allah said: "Do ye agree, and take this my Covenant as binding on you?" They said: "We agree." He said: "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses."

(38) Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)."

(39) Say: "O People of the book! Why reject ye the Signs of Allah, when Allah is Himself witness to all ye do?"

(40) Say: "O ye People of the book! Why obstruct ye those who believe, from the path of Allah, Seeking to make it crooked, while ye were yourselves witnesses (to Allah's Covenant)? but Allah is not unmindful of all that ye do."
