Abstract

We prove some open book embedding results in the contact category with a constructive approach. As a consequence, we give an alternative proof of a theorem of Etnyre and Lekili that produces a large class of contact 3-manifolds admitting contact open book embeddings in the standard contact 5-sphere. We also show that all the Ustilovsky $(4m+1)$-spheres contact open book embed in the standard contact $(4m+3)$-sphere.
