Precis Writing on- A book is essentially not a talked thing but a written thing—written, not with the view of mere communication, but of permanence. The book of talk is printed only because its author cannot speak to thousands of people at once; if he could, he would—the volume is mere multiplication of his voice.You cannot talk to your friend who is miles away. If you could, you would. You write instead—that is a mere conveyance of voice. But a book is written not to multiply the voice merely, not to carry it merely, but to preserve it. The authors have something to say which they perceive to be true and useful, or helpfully beautiful. So far as they know, no one has yet said it; so far as they know, no one else can say it. They are bound to say it clearly and melodiously if they may—clearly at all events. In the sum of their life, they find this to be the thing or the group of things, revealed to them; this is the piece of true knowledge or insight, which their share of sunshine and earth has permitted them to seize. They would set it down forever, engrave it on rock, if they could, saying, ‘‘This is the best of me’’. This is their ‘writing’ —it is, in their small human way and with whatever degree of true inspiration is in them, their inscription. That is a ‘Book’. That is a book for all time.

Answer:
"Defination of a Book"
A book is a written thing. It is printed not only for mere communication but to preserve it. The authors express which they perceive to be true and helpful in some ways to its readers. Throughout their lives, they are bound to be articulate in their works which is a piece of true knowledge or clarity where they can be satisfied with whatever degree of true inspiration they had produced their work and they can confidently term it as 'a book for all time'
