You have always seen books in the same form: straight, square or rectangular. But have you ever wondered why the size of the book is always the square? Is this because of some rule, or just because of tradition? Or there are some scientific and design reasons behind this, which we have not noticed? While experimenting with mobiles, vehicles models, chairs, why are we so 'serious' in terms of books? So let's know the real reason behind this.
It is very easy to stack cubes or rectangular books, keep the shelf, fill in the bag, or make one on one. On the contrary, if the books were round or triangular, it would have been a headache for handling, taking and jarring. Round books would have been revolving around the bag, the corners of triangular books would have been broken, and the library would not have got the right place for them.
In the printing machine, which is used in large size paper sheets, they are rectangular. Folding them by cutting them in the form of a book is the most convenient and low -westzing technique. If the books were made in the shape of a round or triangle, the time, the cost and the waste of paper would have increased very much. When you read the book, the eyes move from the left to the right and top. The rectangular pages are perfect for this natural method of reading. Texts on round or triangular leaves are difficult to fit, and the space is also wasted.
In the past, people used to write text on scrolls, ie wrapped paper. But they were very difficult to read. The scroll had to be constantly opened. When the book was discovered, the rectangular look seemed to be the most convenient. Gradually, the same appearance became habitual and today became a standard. Books are not just for reading, they have to be printed, have to be designed, tied, and also justice. All of these processes are the simplest, economical, and time -consuming in rectangular or square. Therefore, the same size is beneficial for publishers.
So have never made round or triangular books?
Of course made! Books, stars or books have been created for some artistic or children's books. However, they were not very prevalent because their use, printing and storage were difficult. Therefore, the square shape of the book is not just a coincidence, but a wisely from the practical experience of many years, which is determined by the balance of the reader, the convenience of the product and the scientific reasons. And that's why we still read the square books today and maybe keep reading!
