  abstract     = {The book graph 𝐵(𝑘)
𝑛 consists of 𝑛 copies of 𝐾𝑘+1 joined along a common 𝐾𝑘. In the prequel to this paper, we studied the diagonal Ramsey number 𝑟⁡(𝐵(𝑘)
𝑛,𝐵(𝑘)
𝑛). Here we consider the natural off-diagonal variant 𝑟⁡(𝐵(𝑘)
𝑐⁢𝑛,𝐵(𝑘)
𝑛) for fixed 𝑐 ∈(0,1]. In this more general setting, we show that an interesting dichotomy emerges: for very small 𝑐, a simple 𝑘-partite construction dictates the Ramsey function and all nearly-extremal colourings are close to being 𝑘-partite, while, for 𝑐 bounded away from 0, random colourings of an appropriate density are asymptotically optimal and all nearly-extremal colourings are quasirandom. Our investigations also open up a range of questions about what happens for intermediate values of 𝑐.
