John Quincy Adams took his presidential oath of office on a law book, not a Bible. The Constitution doesn't require that an oath be taken on any particular book. In fact, it doesn't even require an oath of office-- it says "oath or affirmation."

No Bibles or other religious texts are used during the swearing-in ceremony for the House of Representatives — incoming House members simply stand in front of the speaker’s podium en masse, raise their right hands, and recite an oath in which they swear to uphold the Constitution.
