What is a book?
What makes a book, a book? Is it the cleverly designed and coloured cover? Is it the content? Is it the author? Is it the people who read the compiled writing? We could discuss and argue all these points, but the bottom line is that if no one reads it, it may aswell not exist. Most people who have some form of education can write. A page with ten words, well chosen and put between a cover can sell as a book. However, some people can write ten thousand words and put it between a cover and it would be best used for fire starting. So what changes a manuscript from paper to a book?
