A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of
many pages bound together and protected by a cover.
The technical term for this physical arrangement is codex.
In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex
replaces its predecessor, the scroll.
A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page.
