If the book is very important, you can negotiate with the courier company to see if you can get it back in addition to compensation.

You can ask the courier company to give a reasonable explanation and produce evidence to prove it. If the courier is lost, it shall be compensated according to the courier contract (see the back of the courier). If there is no agreement or the agreement is not clear, the provisions of the Contract Law on the contract of carriage shall be applied to compensate, that is, to compensate the shipper for the loss of the actual value of the goods.
