Hey everyone, this is David B. and I love
books so today I'm going to go over some vocabulary
related to books.
So here I have two books.
The book on the left is a paperback book,
meaning the cover is very thin.
The book on the right is hardback or hardcover.
The book on the left is fiction.
It is a novel whereas the book on the right
is nonfiction.
It is a biography.
The front of the book is called the cover.
If we flip the book over, this is called the
back cover.
And if we look at this side of the book it
is called the spine.
The same way that humans have a backbone called
a spine, books also have a spine.
If we look at the cover of the book we see
the title: "Infinite Jest".
On this one: "The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt".
We also have the author, David Foster Wallace.
And this one, Edmund Morris.
Those are the parts of a book.
