Have you ever wondered how a book is made？It takes a lot of people to make a book.It can take months，or even years，for a book to go from an idea to a finished product.
   A book begins when an author comes up with an idea for a book.Authors get ideas in different ways.They may get ideas from their own lives，from watching the world around them，or from reading.
   Next，an author may plan the book by making an outline（提纲）.Sometimes authors do research to gather information.They may read books or articles.They may interview people or visit places.
   Then，the author begins to write.Authors may write for months or years to finish a manuscript.A manuscript is the text an author produces for publication.
   Finally，the author sends the completed manuscript to a publisher.If the publisher decides to publish the book，the author works with an editor.An editor reads the manuscript.Then he or she recommends changes to improve the book.A copy editor reads the manuscript to correct any grammatical mistake.
   After an author makes the suggested changes，a designer may decide how the book will look.The designer may choose the size，shape，and type styles for the book.Some picture book authors create their own illustrations（插图）If not，an illustrator is chosen to create pictures for the book.
   The illustrator makes sketches of pictures that will go on each page.The sketches are sent to the publishing company.The editor makes sure the pictures clearly tell the story.The designer checks how the words and pictures will fit together on the pages.
   After the design changes are made，the illustrator begins creating the final pictures.He or she may change the colours，the perspective，or the composition of pictures.It may take months to create all the pictures.
   The finished art is then sent to the publisher.The designer adjusts（调整） how the pictures and words fit together on the pages.The completed pages are sent to the printer.Many books are still made into books with paper pages.
   The printer uses huge printing presses to make the pages.The pages are fixed togejye.air.The book cover is added.The finished books are then sent to the publisher's warehouse.They are stored there until they are bought by libraries and bookstores.
   E-readers have changed how some books are made.Some authors do not use a publisher at all.Instead of sending a manuscript to a publisher，some authors turn their manuscripts into e-Books themselves.Finally，an author's e-book is uploaded（上传） to virtual bookstores on the Internet.Customers can buy and download e-books from these websites.
