contents We study the booklink, a braid-like embedding with local maxima and minima, and the bridge-braid spectrum of a link, which captures the smallest number of braid-strands in a booklink with a prescribed number of critical points. This spectrum spans the gap between the classical bridge and braid indices. We apply a foliation theory argument to provide a formula for the spectra of both split and composite links. We then generate a table for the spectra of all prime knots up to 9 crossings.
