Interesting question. Actually, there are four possible readings as below. The author of the book may pick any one of them as the designated reading. So if the book has small hiragana beside the kanji, just follow them. 巻一、巻二、巻三・・・ a) まきいち、まきに、まきさん・・・ example: http://digitownj.com/books/issatsu/k/ke/genji1.html 源氏物語　巻一（げんじものがたり　まきいち） b) まきのいち、まきのに、まきのさん・・・ http://www004.upp.so-net.ne.jp/t-kyoudo/2room/kokuteiy.htm 国定教科書　小学国語読本　巻一　まきのいち c) かんいち、かんに、かんさん・・・ *I couldn't find any example for this. So it seems to be not usual even if it's technically possible. d) かんのいち、かんのに、かんのさん・・・ http://hima.que.ne.jp/kakushin/shomotsu.html 水軍戦法巻一　かんのいち If the book doesn't have hiragana, you can decide in this way: What the theme of the book? If the book is about ninja, war, army or such, it's probably かんのいち. Otherwise, both まきいち and まきのいち are ok. I cannot really tell.

一巻　いっかん 二巻　にかん 三巻　さんかん 四巻　よんかん 五巻　ごかん 六巻　ろっかん 七巻　ななかん 八巻　はっかん 九巻　きゅうかん 十巻　じゅっかん

juan yi,juan er,but it seems that is a wrong word of "卷"

I'd like to know this, too.
