Heh, sorry. Let me clarify. When I said "the book" I was referring to Spoiler:
"The Philosophy of Time Travel," a book within the movie that helps Donnie understand the things that are happening around him. It's written by one of the characters from the movie, and is pivotal in that it contains KEY knowledge you would not otherwise know. They do not show actual pages from the book in the original cut, so the audiance has no idea what Donnie's reading. In the Director's cut, they show the crucial information that Donnie gets from it. Thus making the movie is much more self-contained (before they added it, they made you go to the website which had pages of the book available).
There's no actual book the movie was based off, though there is a book available which is just a script of the movie, I believe.
I purposely tried to be ambiguous when I referred to "the book" because I wanted to give as litlte information from the movie as possible to avoid spoilers for those who hadn't seen it
