Book weights are generally lighter than regular weights, although in some fonts the book weight is the regular weight. As you suggest, it is the weight designed for book work, although I would not consider children's schoolbooks as normal bookwork. Children's books are specialty work were the designer may make different recommendations based on the age of the student and type of book. I like book weights, unfortunately now do most of my work on the web, so my wide collection of book families is largely ignored.
