A Publisher Steven Darsley claims to have printed the most environmentally conscious series of books in the world. He has done it by using vegetable inks and 100% recycled paper. The books are printed on paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, ensuring a tree is planted for each one used. The first four titles include a guide to organic gardening and a children’s encyclopedia on the environment.

B The Extraordinary Life of Anna Swan by Anne Renaud briefly tells the story of the tallest woman of the 19th century – she stood just under eight feet tall (2.27 metres) – and her tall husband, Martin Van Buren Bates, who was somewhat shorter. The book seems to be intended for teenage readers – the vocabulary in the back suggests this – but it is suitable for anyone who wishes to know something of Anna Swan.

C What makes a book rare and valuable? The rarest books in the world are highly sought after by collectors because they’re associated with a particular author or a major historical event, or simply because they’re incredibly old. Some books become rare not because of the content of the book itself, but because a famous person owned it. Some collectors have been lucky to find rare books at a yard sale for $1.

D “Whichbook” is a website for those who love to read. Sometimes it is difficult to find a new and exciting book to read. The website enables millions of combinations of factors and then suggests books which most closely match your needs. You may choose “Happy” or “Sad”, “Serious” or “Funny”, “Expected” or “Unusual”, and a list of books will appear. You may also read short reviews of these books.

E The enemies of paper are moisture, heat and time. All paper degrades eventually – in fact, some of it is made with acids that cause the paper to literally disintegrate. Even the finest paper can be damaged by water. Light, especially sunlight, causes serious ink fading. For that reason, very rare books are not often displayed in public, and when they are, the temperature and humidity are carefully controlled.

F Scholars will argue over the definition of the word “book”. Must it consist of multiple pages bound to a cover and spine, like a modern book, or might a scroll or a series of etched tablets be called “a book”? There isn’t really a right or wrong answer to this question. Perhaps a more practical approach would be to consider the length of the volume in question, since most would consider a book to be of more substantial length than, for example, a proclamation or a letter.

G Many people have claimed that reading a special book has transformed their life, but now scientists have discovered that enjoying a novel can make a real change in the brain, too. US researchers used scanners to identify brain networks associated with reading stories and found that changes in the brain stay for a few days after reading a powerful work of fiction. Brain function improves for days after reading a novel!
