Books are one graphic of Sources.

Sources (formerly Orbs) are Wizard-restricted items found in Diablo III and Reaper of Souls. Sources are equipped in the off hand and are roughly-equivalent to the Witch Doctor's Mojos or the Demon Hunter's Quivers.

Sources are offensive objects, which add damage and may boost other offensive stats, the most valuable of which is Critical hit Chance. They are not akin to shields, and do not provide any blocking or other defensive stats like Armor or Resistance.

Source Visuals

The Wizard is seen holding a Source in her cinematic introduction movie and Sources can also be discerned in several in-game screenshots. Sources are quite varied in appearance, ranging from "crystal ball" type glowing orbs to books, spiky balls, large eyeballs, three rotating balls, and more. Several examples can be seen in the screnshots below.
