In this modern civilization books are an important thing for up-to date oneself with the dynamic history of mankind. But books didn't appear till the middle age. The nearest things to them were rolls or sheets of papyrus which was called volumen in roman. From the middle of the fifth century, parchment and vellum had replaced papyrus. Parchment was made of the skins of goats and sheep and vellum was made of calfskin. In that time books were made through various steps. At first four pieces of vellum were folded in such a way so that each piece formed two leaves, which was called "a section". After that those sections were sent to a scribe to write the book. The next step was to send the written sections that made up the book to a binder. Other steps were taken after that to decorate and preserve those books.
Most of the books of middle age were bibles, sermons and other religious books. With the time the books of law, medicine, and natural history came and later a few chronicles and books of romance came to the point. The first book published in the history of the mankind was the Gutenberg bible.
