A '''book''' (Spanish: libro, French: livre, German: Buch, Greek: βιβλίο, Russian: книга) is a collection of written words, usually on paper. The [[Bible]] is an example of a <s>fictional novel relating the life of Jesus and Romeo from Juliet's Island</s> book (in fact, the word "Bible" is derived from the Greek word for "book."), as well as a collection of books. Books are often used for educational purposes in the form of [[text books]], although there is concern about the accuracy of the information contain in some of them.  Any finite collection of books can be binded together to form a new book.

The book was called a [[codex]] in Latin, and it was a [[Roman]] improvement over the scroll.  By the fourth century the codex had gained wide acceptance, and many scrolls that were not converted to codex form were lost to posterity.
