book = reserve a seat on a plane, a room in a hotel, a table at a
restaurant, etc: 'The train was packed and I wished I'd booked a seat.'
order = ask for certain goods to be sent to a shop, especially because a
customer wants to buy them: 'If you want to be sure of getting a daily
newspaper, it's best to order one.'
