Books didn't used to be an anachronism (and, for now, are still not), but the verb formed from that noun was: to book a ticket, since tickets have for some time been booked through electronic means. But now many books are electronic too, so both the book and the booking involve no book at all.
Of course, keeping the books, in the financial sense, also often involve no books, nor does cooking them.
