A book is a collection of written, printed, or illustrated pages that are bound together and usually encased in a cover. It is a medium for recording and sharing information, stories, ideas, or knowledge, typically in the form of text, images, or both. Books can vary widely in content, purpose, and format. They can be:
- Fiction or non-fiction (e.g., novels, biographies, textbooks, guides).
- Printed or digital (eBooks or audiobooks).
- Organized into chapters or sections for easy reading and reference.
Books are used for many purposes, such as entertainment, education, research, and cultural preservation. They are an essential part of human communication and knowledge sharing.
