1. to speak volumes of somebody/something
2. to be an open book
3. to do something by the book / to go by the book
4. to have one's nose in a book
5. not in my book
6. judge a book by its cover
7. not to crack a book
8. one for the books
A. not according to my views
B. a record-breaking or remarkable act
C. easy to know what they are thinking and feeling
D. to read a book
E. not to open a book to study
F. as the rules demand
G. prejudge the worth or value of something
H. to make a situation very clear without the use of words
