Parts of a book
The parts of a book define features of a book. These are (e.g. spine, title page, illustrator/author names, front cover, back cover) and so on. Most people call the parts of a book "text features". Most people already think those are the parts that make up a book. But the parts of the book are commonly called "book features" or "book pieces". First, the spine is one part of the book. Second, the front cover is the other part of the book. Third, the back cover is the end of a book or chapter-book. Fourth, the illustrator/author names is a type of part of a book, which is located in the front cover of the book. Last, the title page is a part of a book which shows up before the story starts.

The spine of the book is an important aspect in book design, especially in the cover design. When the books are stacked up or stored in a shelf, the details on the spine is the only visible surface that contains the information about the book. In a book store, it is often the details on the spine that attract the attention first.
