Undoubtedly, books play an important role in everyone’s life. Books can be considered as a collection of knowledge that can be used for developing the society in a better manner. In Stone Age, people use crafting on walls of cave to store knowledge they learn soon they find it’s not a better way so they start writing on leaves bark of trees like you have seen student writing love letter on leaves of tree in “Mohabatein” movie but these leaves decompose over time. So, finally paper was invented and books are hand written by the writer so it is very less in number as there is technological revolution all around the world, printing press have been invented too print the books in bulk. At present, we can find more than million copy of single book available on every bookstore but now a days there is a new trend named eBook. The books are not available in more than 100+ varieties that includes gloss paper books, paperback books, hardboard books, black and white printed books, color printed books etc. However, books can also be categorized on the basis of the content present in them for instance horror stories books like vampire dairies, action comics like Iron man, Nag raj etc., infant learning books etc. In rural areas, one cannot found a huge variety of books as there are very less number of book selling shops as the number of schools and rural areas have less development field so there are neither many libraries nor many bookstore while in the urban areas there are many bookstore even there are certain cities famous for their coaching classes all over the India like Kota is famous for IIT all over the India.
