The Kingdom of book is as vast as the universe, for there is no corner of it which they have left unexplored .There is
no dearth of books on any topic ,be it as simple as the composition of sodium nitrate or as intricate as the mechanism
of a spacecraft rocketing towards Mars. We make use of books for the dissemination of useful ideas, for popularizing
the fruits of our research in various field of knowledge and for spreading our research in various field of knowledge,
and for spreading our progressive views on matters which are of vital corner to our fellow beings in fact no single

There was a time some five centuries back when books, as we know them today, did not exist, and when there were
few people who could ready things written on stuff that certainly was not paper. At that time our ancestors used rocks,
pillars and parchment with a view to recording and perpetuating their most important thoughts and achievements in
the language they then understood. now-a-day, the book-producing machinery gives to the work of every great
scientific thinker, poet or philosopher the character of permanence, reproduces in attractive forms old and rare
manuscripts and caters to the differing tastes of millions of people for whom book-reading is an extremely pleasant,
intellectual exercise. Moreover, the high percentage of literacy, the growth of libraries in towns and villages and the
tendency of intellectuals to have their own private collection of useful books, have given birth to a number of big
publishing houses with branches in many parts of the world and publications numbering thousands. In recent years
paperbacks have begun to reveal their attraction for the reading public, and although they have not completely thrown
into neglect the hard cover market, they have appeared to people who would not have thought of buying books not so
very long ago. These paperbacks are generally reprints of popular fiction or of established classics or translations from
foreign works which are in constant demand at all bookstalls.
