Word origin
The word 'book' originated from the Old English word 'bลc', which itself came from the Proto-Germanic word 'bลks'. Books have been an integral part of human history, with ancient civilizations using various forms of written records. The development of the printing press in the 15th century revolutionized the production of books, making them more accessible to the general population. Today, books come in various formats, from traditional printed books to e-books and audiobooks, continuing to be a valuable source of knowledge and entertainment.
