We show that in every two-colouring of the edges of the complete graph $K_N$
there is a monochromatic $K_k$ which can be extended in at least $(1 +
o_k(1))2^{-k}N$ ways to a monochromatic $K_{k+1}$. This result is
asymptotically best possible, as may be seen by considering a random colouring.
Equivalently, defining the book $B_n^{(k)}$ to be the graph consisting of $n$
copies of $K_{k+1}$ all sharing a common $K_k$, we show that the Ramsey number
$r(B_n^{(k)}) = 2^k n + o_k(n)$. In this form, our result answers a question of
Erd\H{o}s, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp and establishes an asymptotic version
of a conjecture of Thomason.
