| '''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 Mario. The green books dissapear if they hit anything, including Mario. They are found in [[Big Boo's Haunt]] in the game ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. |

| | He often only comes out if Mario gets too close to him, and he gets faster as he gets closer to Mario. If Mario can jump on the book, it will release a [[blue coin]]. If Mario is unsuccessful, he lose two [[life points]]. |
