: : : He is not in her *books*

: : : Could anyone tell me what that means?

: : : Thanks

: : Maybe: not in her good books? Not in favor with her.

: Merriam-Webster online: in one's good books : in favor with one

It is also used as in one's black books which, quite obviously, means the opposite of what ESC has suggested.
