PASSAGE B

A book is a collection of leaves of paper, parchment or other material, bound together along one

edge within covers. A book produced in electronic format is known as e- book. In library and

information science, a book is called a monograph to distinguish it from serial publications such as

magazines, journals or newspapers. A book may be studied by students in the form of a book report.

It may also covered by a professional writer as a book review to introduce a new book. When

writing systems were invented in ancient civilizations, clay tablets or parchment scrolls were used as

books, for example, in the library of Alexandria. Before the invention and adoption of the printing

press, almost all books were copied by hand, which made books comparatively expensive and rare.

During the early Middle Ages, when only churches, universities, and rich noblemen could typically

afford books, there were often chained to a bookshelf or a desk to prevent theft.
