What distinction are you suggesting by "more or less"? My understanding was that the book is the story (i.e., the plot), the lyrics are the song words, and the libretto is the lyrics with stage directions. Can anyone clarify?

No-- the book includes the actual spoken, unsung dialogue (with some stage direction, if applicable-- thanks TheGingerBreadM

As I was taught, the book is just the spoken dialogue. The lyrics are just the words to the songs while the libretto is the combining of both to show the complete work from start to finish.
