About us
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of
writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made
of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and
protected by a cover.[1] The technical term for this physical arrangement
is codex (plural, codices). In the history of hand-held physical supports for
extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor,
the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page.
As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great
length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still
considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book
is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting
that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each
scroll had to be identified by the book it contained.
Each part of Aristotle's Physics is called a book. In an unrestricted sense,
a book is the compositional whole of which such sections, whether called books
or chapters or parts, are parts.
The intellectual content in a physical book need not be a composition, nor
even be called a book. Books can consist only of drawings, engravings or
photographs, crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left
blank or can feature an abstract set of lines to support entries, such as in an account
book, an appointment book, an autograph book, a notebook, a diary or a sketchbook
