Investopedia explains 'Display Book'

The most famous display book is the NYSE Display Book, which is used by the specialists on the exchange to execute orders and manage order flow. It is useful for keeping track of the market activity in a specific security. In addition, data is posted continuously to the consolidated tape. In the past, the display book was simply a notebook kept by each specialist; however, due the advent of computer technology, the display book is now kept in electronic format.
