gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others
gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.
gollark: I think I've *told* Tux1 about them a few times, so it's their fault.
gollark: I agree completely. The inevitability of apioforms is inevitably inevitable.
gollark: Apioforms have been explained MORE THAN -7 TIMES, if you don't know now it's your own fault.
