Unlike oral communication, which is often forgotten after the conversation, written communication is more permanent. It can be used to communicate an idea or a story to a large number of people, without any distortion. Books are records which may consist of written, illustrated, printed sheets which are made of paper, parchment or other material. The sheets are bound together to form the book.

Each sheet of the book is called a leaf and the side of a leaf is a page. In some books, the pages may be numbered sequentially, while in other books only pages with content are numbered. The life of a book depends to a large extent on the quality of paper used in the book, if poor quality paper is used it will disintegrate in a few years. Publishing is the process by which books, magazines and newspapers are printed in large numbers, so that readers can purchase them.

Books are often classified according to the binding method used. Hardcover books have a stiff binding and usually more expensive. Paperback books have flexible covers are used for cheap editions of popular books. Magazines and comics have glossy covers or dust covers.
