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.
