Aren't books aperiodic crystalline structures?

What is a book?<<




I make little folded books, eight pages, out of a single sheet of paper. I also make accordion-folded "flutter books" - for which we have just learned the name "orihon", thanks to Anu. I consider these books just as much as my longer, sewn, more conventionally booky-looking books. I'm working now on a book combined with an origami fold to contain it. What some institution or organization chooses to designate as a "book", excluding other things which could legitimately fall into that category, is not going to affect what I call my less-than-49-page creations.
