A book is a collection of written words, usually on paper. The Bible is an example of a book (in fact, the word "Bible" is derived from the Latin 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.
