Palm leaves were used for many of the early books created throughout Asia (including in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, and Laos). The leaves were boiled in water and then pressed flat and sanded or rubbed smooth.
The book format that we are familiar with today comes to us from the codex, which is a product of the 2nd century CE. In fact, the codex (which is a Latin word for "tree trunk") book format was given its name because of the early practice of binding, which used wooden boards.
