Note:
- Books may be in structures besides leaves and rolls (e.g., artist books).
- They may be manuscript or printed.
- They may be folios with no other form of attachment. (e.g., books in sheets).
- They may be cataloged separately or as part of a collection.
- Even though it may be part of a larger collection, if the item has a title, that title serves as a unique identifier.
- Although the presence of a title is not a defining characteristic, it is a good guide for modern and printed materials. (For example, a bound group of letters or receipts may have no title, but a zine or magazine will.)
