A board is a flat surface on which objects or pictures can be placed, often for exhibition or advertisement. In the case of books, a board is the flat surface of the book’s cover, on which the book’s title, author, and other information is printed. The coverboard of a book is generally made of cardboard, and is covered with cloth, paper, or plastic.
