[[File:Paper Mario Book- MLPJ.png|thumb|The book containing all of the Paper characters.]]

The '''Paper Mario book''' is a key plot element in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. It contains the characters from the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' universe,<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/mario-and-luigi-paper-jam-3ds/ ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' eShop description]</ref> as well as the paper world of the aforementioned series.

While searching for the source of a draft in the attic of [[Peach's Castle]], [[Luigi]] and a [[Toad (species)|Toad]] discover the book on the bookshelf. Startled by a [[Scaredy Rat]], Luigi knocks the book down, causing it to open and release various Paper characters into the world. [[Mario]] and Luigi team up with [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] to track down the various [[Paper Toads]] that have been released, while [[Bowser]] unites with [[Paper Bowser]].

After making their way through [[Doop Doop Dunes]], the protagonists lose the book to [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Paper Bowser Jr.]], who intend to destroy it so they could stay together, but ultimately decide to keep it. Bowser and Paper Bowser discover the book themselves and intend to trap the Mario Bros. in the book and then destroy it. However, prior to this, the Bowsers plan to betray each other afterward, trapping the other in the book along with the trio, which they fail in doing.

*In ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'', [[Neville]] can be seen reading a book called "Mario Story" the Japanese title of the first game.

*In the opening scene of ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the cover of the [[Album]] is shown. The main difference between the Album and the Paper Mario book is that instead of a [[mushroom]] the Album depicts the [[Sticker Comet]].
