	Obtaining the book is purely optional and not a requirement to beat the game. It is essentially a convenience for the player, showing all ~~monsters~~ (with some exceptions between games) the player has fought while listing other statistics like the amount of EXP awarded and how many of that particular ~~monster~~ the player has defeated, and even display the ~~monsters~~' battle animations. Defeating a large number of a single kind of ~~monster~~ will usually result in a minor reward for that monsters page, such as showing more of its animations and revealing what items it drops if the player has yet to obtain any from the ~~monster~~ in question.
