When writing systems were invented in ancient civilizations, nearly everything that could be written upon-stone, clay, tree bark, metal sheets-was used for writing. Alphabetic writing emerged in Egypt around 1800 BC. The Ancient Egyptians would often times write on [ [papyrus] ], a plant grown along the Nile River. At first the words were not separated from each other (scriptura continua) and there was no punctuation. Texts were written from right to left, left to right, and even so that alternate lines read in opposite directions. The technical term for this type of writing is 'boustrophedon,' which means literally 'ox-turning' for the way a farmer drives an ox to plough his fields.

People began to the make books by binding those together. So books were "invented" around the time where Islam was a "new" religion, and the Arabs wanted to find some way to record their holy revelations.
