A centimetre, although you could use a millimetre for greater accuracy.
Inches or centimetres are fine for a book's dimensions. Measure the width, height and depth to determine the volume. If you are talking about the length of the book's narrative, word count is probably the most accurate.
Measure the length and the width. Or if you are feeling particularly energetic, then one of them and the diagonal.

Base x Height x Width = Volume of any rectangular prism.
-- Measure the height.-- Measure the width at the top.-- Measure the width at the bottom.Area = (1/2) x (height) x (width-at-the-top plus width-at-the-bottom)
For a rectangle, length X width = area. Measure the length in cm. Measure the width in cm. Multiply the length X the width to get the area in cm2.
Most like a vernier caliper for accurate readings
