BOOKS
A book is a set or collection of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of paper, parchment, or other material, usually fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is called a leaf, and each side of a leaf is called a page.
A book produced in electronic format is known as an electronic book (e-book).
Books may also refer to a literature work, or a main division of such a work.
In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature.
In novels, a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, etc).
A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.
Please select a sub category from the buttons on the left of this page to go to specific types of books.
NOTE: While I am re-designing Paper Trail you may encounter empty pages.
This will hopefully be temporary until I get all our items entered.
