it looks like a wood particle (木) with a horizontal part crossing the bottom part. The book is made of wood and to count how much BOOK there is, we can COUNT the amount of wood put into.

日本 – Japan is the origin(本)of the sun(日), “the land of the rising sun.” Just as books are the origin(本)of knowledge,therefore 本 is used to measure them.

The radical is almost same with the radical of wood, and the book is made of wood. So we can easily remember the radical is a measure word of books.

The character ben “本“ looks quite similar to the character mo “末“ but with the line moved downwards, or you could remember it by remembering the tree particle and adding a line below the branches.

This character is also used in 日本, so connecting it to another easy word that has it helps me remember it.

looks like there is a big book/on top/ shelf of the small book and it cut in half, therefore the bigger book is now open and the pages are falling on the smaller book

Since papers are made out of trees, as long as you remember the tree character, the horizontal line that goes through towards the bottom of the character can express the tree getting cut down to create a BOOK.

I remember this by the middle being the spine of the book and the ends being both pages open of the book.
