BOOK is a hinge word: 6 words make a compound in front of it and 4 make one after it, so it can sit in the middle of a chain and hold two compounds together at once.
Each of these makes a compound ending in BOOK.
Each of these makes a compound starting with BOOK.
BOOK is both a physical object and the act of reserving. BOOKCASE and BOOKMARK use the object; NOTEBOOK and HANDBOOK name kinds of book.
Put any word from the first list in front and any word from the second behind, and you have a three-word chain in which both neighbouring pairs join. Here are some of them.
CHECK → BOOK → MARK — checkbook and bookmarkHAND → BOOK → SHOP — handbook and bookshopNOTE → BOOK → STORE — notebook and bookstoreTEXT → BOOK → WORM — textbook and bookwormKEYSTONE is a free daily puzzle built entirely out of chains like these. You get the two ends and have to fill the two words in the middle. Three bridges a day, no account, no cookies.
Each of these has a page like this one. There is also an index of all 60.
