Book
A book is a set of written, printed, illustrated, or blank sheets, made of ink, paper, parchment, or other materials, fastened together to hinge at one side. A single sheet within a book is a leaf, and each side of a leaf is a page. A set of text-filled or illustrated pages produced in electronic format is known as an electronic book, or e-book.
Books may also refer to works of literature, or a main division of such a work. In library and information science, a book is called a monograph, to distinguish it from serial periodicals such as magazines, journals or newspapers. The body of all written works including books is literature. In novels and sometimes other types of books (for example, biographies), a book may be divided into several large sections, also called books (Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, and so on). An avid reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially, bookworm.
A shop where books are bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 unique titles had been published. In some wealthier nations, printed books are giving way to the usage of electronic or e-books, though sales of e-books declined in the first half of 2015.

Books (EP)
Books is an EP released by Belle & Sebastian in 2004 on Rough Trade Records. The EP features "Wrapped Up in Books" from Dear Catastrophe Waitress, two new songs — "Your Cover's Blown" and "Your Secrets" — and "Cover (Version)", a remix of "Your Cover's Blown" by the band's keyboardist Chris Geddes. The front cover features Alexandra Klobouk. The EP reached #20 in the UK singles chart.
The Japanese release of the EP included a Japanese version of "I'm a Cuckoo" and a version of the Young Marble Giants song "Final Day" (slower than the version released on the 2003 Rough Trade compilation Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before) as the fifth and sixth tracks.

Mai Piu' Cosi'
Mai mai più così lontano dal tuo letto
Era ieri e adesso sei invisibile
Non ho più perplessità, vago qua e là
Mai più così
Ho sbagliato a dirti che volavo senza te
Non è possibile, siamo anelli fragili
Tra mille ambiguità,
Inimitabili per gli altri
Perso nei tuoi occhi più sinceri
Attento a anticipare i tuoi pensieri.
È notte , piove ai pedi del mondo.
Spengo sigarette a metà
Faccio a pezzi tutto di me, brucio le energie aspettando te o nessuno
Madre di segreti, anche i miei,
tu meta di quei tanti vorrei
Non c'è mai un qualcuno
Voglio solo te o nessuno
Mai più così aggrappato a un minimo di niente,
Abbracciati in queste foto magiche
Siamo sempre uno in due,
Uniti nelle rapide
Seguiremo quelle stelle
Che hanno letto già il nostro destino.
Su quella scia intravedo qualcuno
Che scrive io con te o con nessuno.
E la notte si fa chiara
Fiore che rinasci a primavera, da terra un po' bagnata,
Che profuma e ancora cicatrizza la vita.
Belli i tuoi capelli così
E il brivido che esce da un film
Passa dentro me mentre ti avvicina qualcuno
E mi incanto al senso di te
E il brivido ritorna da me
Finalmente tu
Soli insieme mai più nessuno - nessuno
Mai più nessuno.
