كتب مجسمة


Explanation:
كتب مجسمة : مصنوعة من ورق الكرتون المقوى أو من الخشب

A board book is a type of book printed on thick paperboard. The paperboard is printed and used for both the cover and the interior pages. Each page panel is a minimum of two plies of paperboard thickness. Unlike a typical paper book that is bound with saddle stitching (staples) or perfect binding, a board book's pages are speciially folded and bound together. Board books are very durable and consequently intended for small children as they often tend to be destructive and unpredictable.
