The Debian Installer is the official installation system for Debian. It offers a variety of installation methods. The methods that are available to install your system depend on its architecture.
Images of the installer for bookworm can be found together with the Installation Guide on the Debian website.
The Installation Guide is also included on the first media of the official Debian DVD (CD/blu-ray) sets, at:
/doc/install/manual/language/index.html

There has been a lot of development on the Debian Installer since its previous official release with Debian 11, resulting in improved hardware support and some exciting new features or improvements.
If you are interested in an overview of the changes since bullseye, please check the release announcements for the bookworm beta and RC releases available from the Debian Installer's news history.
Multi-architecture Debian bookworm container images are available on Docker Hub. In addition to the standard images, a “slim” variant is available that reduces disk usage.
Virtual machine images for the Hashicorp Vagrant VM manager are published to Vagrant Cloud.
