.It was only discovered by chance after the attack in which 12 people died and 58 were injured during a screening of Batman film The Dark Knight Rises.
.When FBI agents opened the book they found its contents included drawings Holmes had made of gun-toting stick-like figures shooting each other.
.According to one law enforcement official it was "full of details about how he was going to kill people."
.The book was sent to a professor who treats patients in a psychiatry outpatient facility at the University of Colorado.
.It was not clear if Holmes, who was studying for a PhD in neuroscience, had previous contact with the professor. The package may have arrived as early as July 12.
.While detectives have yet to establish a motive for the crime it also emerged that Holmes bought an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle only hours after failing an oral exam, which was a key part of his PhD, on June 7.
.He had previously been a high performing student, but three days later, he dropped out of the university entirely.
. Some experts said academic failure could have affected his state of mind. .Psychologist Marisa Randazzo said: "All of those things could actually make dormant schizophrenia come out, and come out relatively quickly."
.New details also emerged of Holmes' behaviour during the shooting with witnesses describing how he ordered some victims to "stand up" before shooting them at close range.
.Stephanie Davies, 21, who was in the Century 16 cinema in Aurora, Colorado during the rampage, said: "He would shout 'What are you doing? I said stand up!' And he would pick people up. I saw him stand over someone. I just see hair and him holding the shirt and boom."
.Miss Davis and her friend Allie Young, 19, who was shot in the neck, ended up lying in an aisle.
.In the months before the attack Holmes was believed to have met several prostitutes. He wrote accounts of some of the encounters on an adult website.
