* What is a BOOK?
Books are on the bookshelves (nằm trên kệ sách).
A row of books (một hàng sách) is on each shelf.
Books need to be on your hand and made of paper (làm bằng giấy)
A book contains pages (trang).
The pages are bound (được giới hạn) between covers (a front one and a back one) (bìa).
There is a spine (gáy) of the book.
A hardback book has hard covers which can't bend easily. Otherwise, a paper book has soft covers which is bendable.
A page is also called a leaf. And I'm leafing through the book (lật sách).
