**Book for WPF and Silverlight** allows you to create customized, rich applications. Make the most of **[C1Book](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1Book.html)** by taking advantage of the following key features:

**[C1Book](/componentone/api/wpf/online-extended/dotnet-framework-api/C1.WPF.Extended.4.6.2/C1.WPF.Extended.C1Book.html)** enables you to present information innovatively using a familiar mental model – that of a book. But **Book for WPF and Silverlight** is not a typical static book, it's dynamic and interactive, and it takes the familiar metaphor further using WPF.

*   **Real Book-like Visuals**
    

**C1Book** enables you to customize the look and feel of the book pages; for example, show page folds and display inner and outer shadows. It not only looks like a book, but can be interacted with like a book.

*   **Flexible Data Binding**
    

**C1Book** is an **ItemsControl**, so you can bind it to any data source. Each item in the data source can be a **UIElement** or a generic object that gets converted into a **UIElement** using templates.

*   **Custom Styles for Book Pages and Cover**
    

**C1Book** supports different templates for odd and even pages, and it is possible to define custom pages like the cover.
