OUGD404: Study Task 06 - What is a Book?






What is a book?
1. A written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers.

2.A bound set of blank sheets for writing in.

What does it consist of?
To Kill A Mocking Bird are both fiction books which consist of a story. The Independent Leeds book is a small guide on independent places and things to do in Leeds such as coffee shops.

What are the pages made of?
The ones I have chosen are on a variety of different paper stocks. To Kill A Mocking Bird uses a glossy finish paper for its cover. Nighteen-Eighty Four uses a matte finish paper for its cover and the Independent Leeds - The Little Black Book uses a matte paper as it is a small pocket book. 

How is it bound?
"Bookbinding is the process of physically assembling a book from an ordered stack of paper sheets that are folded together into sections or sometimes left as a stack of individual sheets. The stack is then bound together along one edge by either sewing with thread through the folds or by a layer of flexible adhesive. For protection, the bound stack is either wrapped in a flexible cover or attached to stiff boards."


"It's nice, I like it but it's been done" - don't look for stuff you know that you can make.
