Book Variant

The book-variant icon represents a book with a variant or different style, often used in material design contexts. This icon is part of the Material Design Icons library, created by Pictogrammers. The book-variant icon signifies a book with a different style or variant, which can be applied in various digital interfaces, such as e-book platforms or library management systems.

In real-world applications, the book-variant icon can be found in software like e-book readers, library management tools, or online bookstores. For instance, when a user wants to view different styles or variants of a book, such as different editions or formats, this icon can be used to represent that action.

From a UX perspective, the book-variant icon effectively communicates the intention of viewing different styles or variants of a book. It helps users understand that the action they are taking will result in a different representation of the book. This clarity in communication enhances the overall user experience, making it easier for users to explore different book options.

Book Variant is one of 7,638 icons in Material Design Icons, made by Pictogrammers and released under Apache 2.0. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BookVariantIcon to components/icons/mdi-book-variant.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BookVariantIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Book Variant icon, or any of 7,638 Material Design Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Book Variant", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BookVariantIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BookVariantIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. Apache 2.0 allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: Apache 2.0 only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Material Design Icons, Pictogrammers and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are design, action, icon, material, book and variant. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Book Variant in another set.

Material Design Icons draws many icons in several styles: Outline next to the default. Open the library and pick a style above the grid to see Book Variant's siblings in it.
