The phrase "book contained" is grammatically correct and can be used in written English, but it may sound awkward or incomplete without additional information.
It is often used as a part of a longer sentence to describe the contents of a book or to indicate that something is found within a book. For example: - The book contained detailed illustrations of various species of birds. - Upon opening the old tome, she was surprised to find a handwritten note contained within. - The first few pages of the book contained a map of the fictional world. - The book contained a variety of recipes, from classic comfort foods to exotic dishes from around the world.
