fiction

A book is a printed or digitally recorded collection of written or illustrated material that is typically organized into chapters and pages. Books can be fiction or non-fiction, and they can cover a wide range of subjects, including literature, history, science, and more. Some examples of books are novels, text books, and dictionaries.

There is no set minimum number of pages for a book. Books can be any length, from just a few pages to thousands of pages. The number of pages in a book will depend on the subject matter, the intended audience, and the purpose of the book. For example, a children’s picture book might be only 20 pages long, while a reference book might be several hundred pages or more.

According to UNESCO, a book is “a non-periodical printed publication of at least 49 pages, exclusive of the cover pages.” This definition includes traditional books as well as other printed materials such as pamphlets and brochures, but excludes magazines and newspapers. The organization also notes that a book can be in physical form, such as a paper volume, or in digital form, such as an electronic file. and some other expert believes that 24 written and bind with each other is a book.
