    such as through 'my_session = Session('file:my_books.xac')', and access
    the book via the book property, 'my_session.book'

    If you would like to create a Book without any backing storage, call the
    Book constructor without any parameters, 'Book()'. You can later merge
    such a book into a book with actual store by using merge_init.
