Many people around the world are often dwelling with books with different and same content, and just some, of all possible, variants about what is the situation, the past, the present and the future.

There are extremely many books, and variants of books in the world to be concerned about. And always it is a funny or serious message with giving you information of something. And books are found at all levels in society, if there is free availability of information. You find a book in business, in organizations, in schools and in universities and in colleges. And always it is about giving you some more knowledge about what a problem or an area really is. A book is consisting of several pages making the whole. And you can have pain or pleasure by reading it!

Any test in an organization, a school, in a university or in a college, is about trying to find the content and the structure in your brain about what you know! And we are using many books to give the audiences the content of your messages given from you, and what you are holding within yourself. All books, all journals and written information are about giving you what you should know. Knowing what you know just now, is important about knowing to know!

You should read to know, and also to be more dynamic! Competence is the most important you can get in any society. And research shows us some patterns, of all the patterns that we can find where research is possible. The oldest texts that we have stored, is written down in hard materials, as for instance stone or ceramics. Some have also used soft clay, and this is stored due to advantageous circumstances. And after this time, we got rolls, and there we had the opportunity for writing down long texts, and to spread them or collect them in libraries.

In the first centuries after the death to Jesus Christ, one used the codex as the medium for a book. So there have been much product development about what to do with written materials through all times. In the middle of the 15th century, one used block printing in Europe. The technique goes out that one is cutting or engraving one whole page on a tree- or metal block, swiping this and hitting the page. This meant that one by making a block, could make many copies of every page. Although, the idea and the practice was pretty good developed during the 15th century, it was a large working efforts that should be used to print an entire book!

Around the year 1045, the Chinese inventor Bi Sheng had made interchangeable types. He put these types in hot wax forms, and when the wax had stiffened, he could press the entire page. Hence, this was the first development of the first modern book, and it came from Asia!

In Europe, there should go four centuries before one developed the press about the interchangeable types. Johann Gutenberg developed the method in the 1450s, and in 1455 he could begin the mass production of the Bible. This marked the development of the modern book in Europe. And the art of printing, has developed much since this time. And today, we are using pages of different colors in books, in journals and in newspapers! And you give a message there, of all messages that are conceivable!

Nice one! There are some really strange books, but also fascinating, as the Codex Gigas for example.
