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. A store where books are bought and sold is a bookstore or bookshop. Books can also be borrowed from libraries. History of booksMain article: History of the bookFrom Wikipedia under the

Q. My dad doesn't like me on the computer, so he told me he'd take me to the library later to get some books. I'm not sure what to get though. Does anyone have any good suggestions? Preferably books that will open my eyes about something. Don't suggest anything from Stephanie Meyer or Sarah Dessen, I've read their books already.

Q. I have a passion for books, and I have hundreds of books on all sorts of subjects. Science, arts, management, cooking, interior design, history, religion, textbooks - everything. I've now decided to make a personal library, which needs help. Is there any system to arrange books in a home library? Don't need something too complicated like a proper catalog system. Any references, tips, ideas? I'd particularly appreciate standard system used by readers and home library owners. But share your own system too, if you got one. Thanks. The exact thing that I am looking for is a classification system for a home library. Like the Dewey Decimal classification system - but on a micro scale. I think many of us could use the answers! :) :) A good… [cont.] Asked by Prophecy - Sun Apr 23 12:05:53 2006 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm a librarian, so I tend to lump things together by subject first (similar to the Dewey Decimal system). I think that if you create a genre scheme, and then alphabetize by author your collection will be well organized and be easy to navigate. You might also want to read At Home with Books by Estelle Ellis, et. al. It gives excellent tips about how to organize your collection and provides photos.
