'''Bookends'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us|page=10, 52, and 54}}</ref> are [[List of enemies|enemies]] encountered within [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in {{a|SM64|l}} and {{a|SM64DS|l}}. They are living book creatures with sharp teeth that disguise themselves as regular books within a bookshelf. Their name is derived from {{iw|wikipedia|bookend|a word}} referring to a shelving accessory used to keep a row of books upright. If a Bookend is nearby, it slides out, opens its mouth, and charges at the player character to attack.<ref name=sm64>{{cite|url=youtu.be/PfRU3t9YWNY?feature=shared&t=174|timestamp=02:54|title=''Super Mario 64'' - Big Boos Haunt - 100 Coins - 42/120|author=MrGamingZone|date=September 10, 2011|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Attacking a Bookend destroys it and releases a [[Blue Coin]].<ref name=sm64/> If a Bookend hurts the player character, the latter loses two wedges of [[Health Meter|health]].

The only other appearance of Bookends is in two games of the ''{{id|MP|series}}'' series: {{a|MP8|l}}, where they hover around the rooms of [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], and {{a|MPDS|l}}, where "flying books"<ref>{{cite|quote=Flying books and sliding bookcases will keep you on your toes.|author=[[Book Bash]] instructions|date=2007|title={{a|MPDS|l}}|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> fly at the player character on their way to [[Kamek]] during the minigame [[Book Bash]], attempting to hinder them.
A '''Bookend''' is a large book with sharp teeth that comes out of book shelves and flys toward you. They dissapear if they hit anything. They are found in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.

He often only comes out if you get too close to him, and he gets faster as he gets closer to you. If you give him a successful bop on the head, you can get a blue coin.  If you are unseccessful, you lose 2 life points.
