In Roman times, books were written on long scrolls of papyrus. The scrolls were unrolled at one end for reading while being wound at the other end. If the book were very long, it was divided into "chapters" and put on several scrolls, making it easier to handle. These chapters, which were/are sometimes called "books" were stored together in leather buckets, with an ID tag affixed to one end of the scroll.
Books developed from wooden tablets covered with wax to make them reusable and tied together which were used as notebooks in the 1st century BC. At the turn of the 1st century AD notebooks made of folded parchment were developed by using the idea of tying them together which came from the earlier tablets. They became widely used. The book was a further evolution and appeared in the 1st century AD. The first book was described by the poet Martial who lived 40-102 or 104 AD. In the early 2nd century AD books made of papyrus were widespread. By 300 AD books were as commonly used as the scroll. Parchment then replaced papyrus as the used material.
