Murder by the Book
"Murder by the Book" is the title of a book by Rex Stout.

What does "by" mean above?
Thank you.

"by" is used to say who produced any work of art, whether it's a book, a painting, or a piece of music. This music sounds like a symphony by Beethoven. Have you seen any films by Fellini?
