Books!!
A book is a
collection of sheets of paper, parchment or other material with a
piece of text written on them, bound together along one edge within
covers. A book is also a literary work or a main division of such
a work. A book produced in electronic format is known as an
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. Publishers may produce
low-cost, pre-proof editions known as galleys for promotional
purposes, such as generating reviews in advance of publication.

Galleys are usually made as cheaply as possible, since they are
not intended for sale.A lover of books is usually referred to as a bibliophile, a
bibliophilist, or a philobiblist, or, more informally, a bookworm.
A book may be studied by students in the form of a book report. It
may also be covered by a professional writer as a book review to
introduce a new book. Some belong to a book club
