The spine is the part of a book that holds the pages together and connects the front and back covers. It typically displays important information, such as the book's title, author, and publisher's logo. The spine serves both a structural and aesthetic purpose, supporting the book's binding and often featuring decorative elements that allow the book to be easily identified when shelved. The condition of the spine is crucial for the book's durability, as it bears the weight of the pages and is subject to frequent handling.

A book cover is the outer protective layer of a book, which includes both the front and back covers. It typically features the book's title, author, and cover art or design. The front cover is designed to attract readers' attention and often includes elements like a compelling image or illustration, while the back cover provides a summary or description of the book, along with other information such as author details, reviews, and a barcode. The cover plays a crucial role in marketing the book and giving potential readers an idea of its content and appeal.
