Here are my top solutions for you:

1. Take the book to outer space where there’s no gravity. Then the book will weight nothing.

2. Get rid of the book. Once you don’t have the book it won’t matter how much it weighs.

3. Find a bridge with a weight limit. Keep adding copies of the book until the bridge collapses. Divide the weight limit by the number of books and you have a rough weight.

4. Order a copy of the book. When it arrives check the box it was posted in for the postage weight.

5. Go to the doctors to get weighed. Eat the book then go back. The difference is the weight of the book.

6. Borrow a scales from your friends. If you are like me this is impossible, you are better off going with option 1.

That would get you the volume, not the mass. You would have to multiply your cubic centimeter volume by 1.2 to get the actual answer in grams (approximately based on typical paper density.)

Though creating a rudimentary balance and using a measuring cup full of water on the opposite side of the book would be less messy.

1. Create the Cavendish experiment where mass of book is unknown and G is 6.67N × m^2 × kg^-2 × 10
2. Create physical pendulum and measure T for your local g and derive the mass of the book

But that is just gravitional mass. To measure inertial mass throw it across the room and see how far it will fly. You need know your force.

The paper pages of the book would pick up water like a sponge and the book would get heavier. How dare you!
