.As a physical object, a book is a stack of usually rectangular (made of, or ) oriented with one edge tied, sewn, or otherwise fixed together and then to the flexible spine of a protective of heavier, relatively inflexible material. The technical term for this physical arrangement is (in the plural, codices). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its immediate predecessor, the. A single sheet in a codex is a, and each side of a leaf is a.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 a still considerable, though not so extensive, investment of time to read. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained.

So, for instance, each part of 's is called a book, as of course, the Bible encompasses many different books. In the 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, or such things as crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature an abstract set of lines as support for on-going entries, i.e., an account book, an appointment book, a log book, an autograph book, a notebook, a diary or day book, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are made with pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a scrapbook or photograph album. Books may be distributed in electronic form as and other formats.Although in ordinary academic parlance a is understood to be a specialist academic work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in one (book) or a finite number of volumes (even a novel like Proust's seven-volume ), in contrast to serial publications like a,.

They were the normal writing material in schools, in accounting, and for taking notes. They had the advantage of being reusable: the wax could be melted, and reformed into a blank.The custom of binding several wax tablets together (Roman pugillares) is a possible precursor of modern bound (codex) books. The etymology of the word codex (block of wood) also suggests that it may have developed from wooden wax tablets. Egyptian papyrus showing the god and the weighing of the heart.Scrolls can be made from, a thick material made by weaving the stems of the papyrus plant, then pounding the woven sheet with a hammer-like tool until it is flattened. Papyrus was used for writing in, perhaps as early as the, although the first evidence is from the account books of King of the (about 2400 BC). Papyrus sheets were glued together to form a.

Tree bark such as and other materials were also used.According to (History 5:58), the brought writing and papyrus to Greece around the 10th or 9th century BC. The Greek word for papyrus as writing material ( biblion) and book ( biblos) come from the Phoenician port town, through which papyrus was exported to Greece. From Greek we also derive the word tome (: τόμος), which originally meant a slice or piece and from there began to denote 'a roll of papyrus'. Tomus was used by the Latins with exactly the same meaning as volumen (see also below the explanation by Isidore of Seville).Whether made from papyrus, or paper, scrolls were the dominant form of book in the Hellenistic, Roman, Chinese, Hebrew, and Macedonian cultures. The more modern book format form took over the Roman world by, but the scroll format persisted much longer in Asia.Codex. Main article:(d.

636) explained the then-current relation between codex, book and scroll in his Etymologiae (VI.13): 'A codex is composed of many books; a book is of one scroll. It is called codex by way of metaphor from the trunks ( codex) of trees or vines, as if it were a wooden stock, because it contains in itself a multitude of books, as it were of branches.' Modern usage differs.A codex (in modern usage) is the first information repository that modern people would recognize as a 'book': leaves of uniform size in some manner along one edge, and typically held between two made of some more robust material.

The first written mention of the codex as a form of book is from, in his Apophoreta CLXXXIV at the end of the first century, where he praises its compactness. However, the codex never gained much popularity in the pagan Hellenistic world, and only within the Christian community did it gain widespread use. This change happened gradually during the 3rd and 4th centuries, and the reasons for adopting the codex form of the book are several: the format is more economical, as both sides of the writing material can be used; and it is portable, searchable, and easy to conceal. A book is much easier to read, to find a page that you want, and to flip through. A scroll is more awkward to use. The Christian may also have wanted to distinguish their writings from the pagan and Judaic texts written on scrolls. In addition, some metal books were made, that required smaller pages of metal, instead of an impossibly long, unbending scroll of metal.

A book can also be easily stored in more compact places, or side by side in a tight library or shelf space.Manuscripts. Folio 14 recto of the 5th century contains an author portrait of.

Note the ( capsa), reading stand and the text written without word spacing in.The fall of the in the 5th century AD saw the decline of the. Papyrus became difficult to obtain due to lack of contact with Egypt, and parchment, which had been used for centuries, became the main writing material. Parchment is a material made from processed animal skin and used—mainly in the past—for writing on.Parchment is most commonly made of calfskin, sheepskin, or goatskin. It was historically used for writing documents, notes, or the pages of a book. Parchment is limed, scraped and dried under tension. It is not tanned, and is thus different from leather.

This makes it more suitable for writing on, but leaves it very reactive to changes in relative humidity and makes it revert to rawhide if overly wet.Monasteries carried on the writing tradition in the., in the monastery of Vivarium (established around 540), stressed the importance of copying texts., in his (completed around the middle of the 6th century) later also promoted reading. The Rule of Saint Benedict (Ch. XLVIII), which set aside certain times for reading, greatly influenced the monastic culture of the and is one of the reasons why the clergy were the predominant readers of books. The tradition and style of the Roman Empire still dominated, but slowly the peculiar medieval book culture emerged. The anachronistically depicts the Biblical with the kind of books used in the 8th Century AD.Before the invention and adoption of the, almost all books were copied by hand, which made books expensive and comparatively rare.

Smaller monasteries usually had only a few dozen books, medium-sized perhaps a few hundred. By the 9th century, larger collections held around 500 volumes and even at the end of the Middle Ages, the papal library in and Paris library of the held only around 2,000 volumes.The of the monastery was usually located over the. Artificial light was forbidden for fear it may damage the manuscripts. There were five types of scribes:.

Calligraphers, who dealt in fine book production. Copyists, who dealt with basic production and correspondence. Correctors, who collated and compared a finished book with the manuscript from which it had been produced.

Illuminators, who painted illustrations. Rubricators, who painted in the red letters. Desk with chained books in the of,.Different types of ink were known in antiquity, usually prepared from soot and gum, and later also from nuts. This gave writing a brownish black color, but black or brown were not the only colors used. There are texts written in red or even gold, and different colors were used for illumination. For very luxurious manuscripts the whole parchment, and the text was written on it with gold or silver (for example, ).Irish monks introduced spacing between words in the 7th century.

This facilitated reading, as these monks tended to be less familiar with Latin. However, the use of spaces between words did not become commonplace before the 12th century. It has been argued that the use of spacing between words shows the transition from semi-vocalized reading into silent reading.The first books used or for the pages.

The book covers were made of wood and covered with leather. Because dried parchment tends to assume the form it had before processing, the books were fitted with clasps or straps. During the later, when public libraries appeared, up to the 18th century, books were often chained to a bookshelf or a to prevent theft.

These chained books are called libri catenati.At first, books were copied mostly in monasteries, one at a time. With the rise of universities in the 13th century, the of the time led to an increase in the demand for books, and a new system for copying books appeared. The books were divided into unbound leaves ( pecia), which were lent out to different copyists, so the speed of book production was considerably increased. The system was maintained by secular guilds, which produced both religious and non-religious material.has kept the art of the scribe alive up to the present. According to Jewish tradition, the scroll placed in a must be written by hand on parchment and a printed book would not do, though the congregation may use printed prayer books and printed copies of the Scriptures are used for study outside the.

This section possibly contains inappropriate or misinterpreted that do not the text. Please help by checking for citation inaccuracies. ( September 2010) People of various religious (Jews, Christians, Zoroastrians, Muslims) and ethnic backgrounds (Syriac, Coptic, Persian, Arab etc.) in the Middle East also produced and bound books in the (mid 8th century to 1258), developing advanced techniques in, and bookbinding. A number of cities in the medieval Islamic world had book production centers and book markets. 897) says that in his time Baghdad had over a hundred booksellers.

Book shops were often situated around the town's principal mosque as in, that has a street named Kutubiyyin or book sellers in English and the famous is named so because of its location in this street.The medieval also used a method of reproducing reliable copies of a book in large quantities known as, in contrast to the traditional method of a single scribe producing only a single copy of a single manuscript. In the check reading method, only 'authors could authorize copies, and this was done in public sessions in which the copyist read the copy aloud in the presence of the author, who then certified it as accurate.' With this check-reading system, 'an author might produce a dozen or more copies from a single reading,' and with two or more readings, 'more than one hundred copies of a single book could easily be produced.' By using as writing material the relatively cheap paper instead of parchment or papyrus the Muslims, in the words of Pedersen 'accomplished a feat of crucial significance not only to the history of the Islamic book, but also to the whole world of books'. Wood block printing. A traditional woodblock printing in,.In, a relief image of an entire page was carved into blocks of wood, inked, and used to print copies of that page. This method originated in China, in the (before 220 AD), as a method of on and later, and was widely used throughout.

The oldest dated book printed by this method is (868 AD). The method (called when used in art) arrived in Europe in the early 14th century. Books (known as ), as well as and, began to be produced by this method. Creating an entire book was a painstaking process, requiring a hand-carved block for each page; and the wood blocks tended to crack, if stored for long.

The monks or people who wrote them were paid highly.Movable type and incunabula. Selected Teachings of Buddhist Sages and Son Masters, the earliest known book printed with movable metal type, printed in Korea, in 1377.The Chinese inventor made of earthenware c. 1045, but there are no known surviving examples of his printing.

Around 1450, in what is commonly regarded as an independent invention, invented movable type in Europe, along with innovations in casting the type based on a matrix. This invention gradually made books less expensive to produce, and more widely available.Early printed books, single sheets and images which were created before 1501 in Europe are known as or incunabula.

'A man born in 1453, the year of the fall of Constantinople, could look back from his fiftieth year on a lifetime in which about eight million books had been printed, more perhaps than all the scribes of Europe had produced since Constantine founded his city in AD 330.' 19th century to 21st centuriesSteam-powered printing presses became popular in the early 19th century. These machines could print 1,100 sheets per hour, but workers could only set 2,000 letters per hour. and typesetting machines were introduced in the late 19th century. They could set more than 6,000 letters per hour and an entire line of type at once. There have been numerous improvements in the printing press.

As well, the conditions for have been improved through the gradual relaxation of restrictive censorship laws. In mid-20th century, European book production had risen to over 200,000 titles per year.Throughout the 20th century, libraries have faced an ever-increasing rate of publishing, sometimes called an. The advent of and the means that much new information is not printed in paper books, but is made available online through a, on, in the form of e-books or other online media. An is an e-book that is available online through the internet. Though many books are produced digitally, most digital versions are not available to the public, and there is no decline in the rate of paper publishing. There is an effort, however, to convert books that are in the into a digital medium for unlimited redistribution and infinite availability.

This effort is spearheaded by combined with. There have also been new developments in the process of publishing books. Technologies such as POD or ', which make it possible to print as few as one book at a time, have made self-publishing (and ) much easier and more affordable. On-demand publishing has allowed publishers, by avoiding the high costs of warehousing, to keep low-selling books in print rather than declaring them out of print.Modern manufacturing. The of the book is an important aspect in, especially in the cover design. When the books are stacked up or stored in a shelf, the details on the spine is the only visible surface that contains the information about the book.

In stores, it is the details on the spine that attract buyers' attention first.The methods used for the printing and binding of books continued fundamentally unchanged from the 15th century into the early 20th century. While there was more, a in 1900 had much in common with. Was the use of movable metal types, assembled into words, lines, and pages and then printed by to create multiple copies. Modern paper books are printed on designed specifically for printed books. Traditionally, book papers are off-white or low-white papers (easier to read), are opaque to minimise the show-through of text from one side of the page to the other and are (usually) made to tighter or thickness specifications, particularly for case-bound books.

Different paper qualities are used depending on the type of book:, and are common paper grades.Today, the majority of books are printed. When a book is printed, the pages are laid out on the plate so that after the printed sheet is folded the pages will be in the correct sequence.

Books tend to be manufactured nowadays in a few standard sizes. The are usually specified as 'trim size': the size of the page after the sheet has been folded and trimmed. The standard sizes result from sheet sizes (therefore machine sizes) which became popular 200 or 300 years ago, and have come to dominate the industry. British conventions in this regard prevail throughout the English-speaking world, except for the USA. The European book manufacturing industry works to a completely different set of standards.Processes Layout.

Parts of a modern case bound bookModern bound books are organized according to a particular format called the book's layout. Although there is great variation in layout, modern books tend to adhere to as set of rules with regard to what the parts of the layout are and what their content usually includes. A basic layout will include a front cover, a back cover and the book's content which is called its body copy or content pages. The front cover often bears the book's title (and subtitle, if any) and the name of its author or editor(s).

The inside front cover page is usually left blank in both hardcover and paperback books. The next section, if present, is the book's front matter, which includes all textual material after the front cover but not part of the book's content such as a foreword, a dedication, a table of contents and publisher data such as the book's edition or printing number and place of publication. Between the body copy and the back cover goes the end matter which would include any indices, sets of tables, diagrams, glossaries or lists of cited works (though an edited book with several authors usually places cited works at the end of each authored chapter). The inside back cover page, like that inside the front cover, is usually blank. The back cover is the usual place for the book's and maybe a photograph of the author(s)/ editor(s), perhaps with a short introduction to them. Also here often appear plot summaries, barcodes and excerpted reviews of the book. Book coversSome books, particularly those with shorter runs (i.e.

Fewer copies) will be printed on sheet-fed offset presses, but most books are now printed on web presses, which are fed by a continuous roll of paper, and can consequently print more copies in a shorter time. As the production line circulates, a complete 'book' is collected together in one stack, next to another, and another A carries out the folding itself, delivering bundles of signatures (sections) ready to go into the gathering line.

Note that the pages of a book are printed two at a time, not as one complete book. Excess numbers are printed to make up for any spoilage due to make-readies or test pages to assure final print quality.A make-ready is the preparatory work carried out by the pressmen to get the printing press up to the required quality of. Included in make-ready is the time taken to mount the plate onto the machine, clean up any mess from the previous job, and get the press up to speed. As soon as the pressman decides that the printing is correct, all the make-ready sheets will be discarded, and the press will start making books. Similar make readies take place in the folding and binding areas, each involving spoilage of paper.BindingAfter the signatures are folded and gathered, they move into the. In the middle of last century there were still many trade binders – stand-alone binding companies which did no printing, specializing in binding alone. At that time, because of the dominance of letterpress printing, typesetting and printing took place in one location, and binding in a different factory.

When type was all metal, a typical book's worth of type would be bulky, fragile and heavy. The less it was moved in this condition the better: so printing would be carried out in the same location as the typesetting. Printed sheets on the other hand could easily be moved. Now, because of increasing of preparing a book for the printer, the typesetting part of the job has flowed upstream, where it is done either by separately contracting companies working for the publisher, by the publishers themselves, or even by the authors. Mergers in the book manufacturing industry mean that it is now unusual to find a bindery which is not also involved in book printing (and vice versa).If the book is a its path through the bindery will involve more points of activity than if it is a.

Unsewn binding, is now increasingly common. The signatures of a book can also be held together by 'Smyth sewing' using needles, 'McCain sewing', using drilled holes often used in schoolbook binding, or 'notch binding', where gashes about an inch long are made at intervals through the fold in the spine of each signature. The rest of the binding process is similar in all instances. Sewn and notch bound books can be bound as either hardbacks or paperbacks.Finishing.

Book pages'Making cases' happens off-line and prior to the book's arrival at the binding line. In the most basic case-making, two pieces of cardboard are placed onto a glued piece of cloth with a space between them into which is glued a thinner board cut to the width of the spine of the book. The overlapping edges of the cloth (about 5/8' all round) are folded over the boards, and pressed down to adhere. After case-making the stack of cases will go to the area for adding decorations and type.Digital printingRecent developments in book manufacturing include the development of digital printing. Book pages are printed, in much the same way as an office copier works, using rather than ink. Each book is printed in one pass, not as separate signatures.

Digital printing has permitted the manufacture of much smaller quantities than offset, in part because of the absence of make readies and of spoilage. One might think of a web press as printing quantities over 2000, quantities from 250 to 2000 being printed on sheet-fed presses, and digital presses doing quantities below 250. These numbers are of course only approximate and will vary from supplier to supplier, and from book to book depending on its characteristics. Digital printing has opened up the possibility of print-on-demand, where no books are printed until after an order is received from a customer.E-book. A screen of a e-reader.In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an appealing option for media publishers.

Thus, the 'e-book' was made. The term e-book is a contraction of 'electronic book'; it refers to a book-length publication in digital form. An e-book is usually made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM and other forms.

E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED display such as a traditional, a or a; or by means of a portable e-ink display device known as an e-book reader, such as the, or the. E-book readers attempt to mimic the experience of reading a print book by using this technology, since the displays on e-book readers are much less reflective.Design. Main article:Book design is the art of incorporating the content, style, format, design, and sequence of the various components of a book into a coherent whole. In the words of Jan Tschichold, book design 'though largely forgotten today, methods and rules upon which it is impossible to improve have been developed over centuries. To produce perfect books these rules have to be brought back to life and applied.' Richard Hendel describes book design as 'an arcane subject' and refers to the need for a context to understand what that means. Many different creators can contribute to book design, including, and editors.Sizes.

A page from the. Each page is three and a half feet wide, five feet tall and a little over five inches thickThe size of a modern book is based on the printing area of a common flatbed press. The pages of type were arranged and clamped in a frame, so that when printed on a sheet of paper the full size of the press, the pages would be right side up and in order when the sheet was folded, and the folded edges trimmed.The most common book sizes are:. Quarto (4to): the sheet of paper is folded twice, forming four leaves (eight pages) approximately 11–13 inches (c. 30 cm) tall.

Public libraries also existed in other cities of the ancient (for example, ). Later, in the Middle Ages, monasteries and universities had also libraries that could be accessible to general public. Typically not the whole collection was available to public, the books could not be borrowed and often were chained to reading stands to prevent theft.The beginning of modern public library begins around 15th century when individuals started to donate books to towns.
