Indeed. book_id is just an identifier, having it be ordered and contiguous is about as pertinent as doing it for ISBNs or UUIDs.
I can understand why you want to do it: they're simple, low-digits integers, and our brains just _want_ to see them in order and contiguous. But that's the point: you shouldn't even have to _see_ them in the first place. Just ignore them when you do.
