Let's denote the cost of each book as $$ x $$ dollars.

Given that Sam had 125 dollars to spend on 6 books and after buying them, he had 11 dollars left, we can set up the following equation:

$$ 125 - 6x = 11 $$

Now, we can solve this equation to find the cost of each book.
Solve the equation by following steps:
- step0: Solve for $$x$$:
  $$125-6x=11$$
- step1: Move the constant to the right side:
  $$-6x=11-125$$
- step2: Subtract the numbers:
  $$-6x=-114$$
- step3: Change the signs:
  $$6x=114$$
- step4: Divide both sides:
  $$\frac{6x}{6}=\frac{114}{6}$$
- step5: Divide the numbers:
  $$x=19$$
The cost of each book is 19 dollars.
Each book costs 19 dollars.
