${\boxed{\bf {\underline{\orange{Explaination:-}}}}}$

As we know, was is used for indicating that the subject is singler and were is used for plural.

As the subject is "book" here and "were" in the sentence was used for the book .

So ,as it is a single book we will use "was" in place of "were".

$<font color="black">$
