The disclosure includes a multi-media book system. An embodiment of the system can include a book system. The book system includes both an open and closed configuration. The book system includes a cover device and a book device. The book device is configured to fit inside of the cover device. Both the cover device and the book device are configured to function like a book and can include pages. These pages can be coupled to a binding or spine of the book device, separate from the cover device. The cover device includes a cover interior surface and a cover exterior surface. The book device includes a book interior surface and a book exterior surface. The book exterior surface is configured to mate with the cover interior surface via a magnetic coupling.

The present invention relates to a book comprising a first outer cover having a substantially planar body defining a first aperture extending therethrough; a second outer cover having a substantially planar body defining a second aperture extending therethrough; and at least one inner element located between the first and second outer covers, the or each inner element having a substantially planar body defining an inner element aperture extending therethrough; wherein at least a portion of the first and second apertures and the or each inner element aperture are aligned with one another to define a receiving aperture extending through the book.

A book has a front cover having a first edge which is unconnected, and an opposing second edge which is connected to a spine. A back cover has a first edge which is connected to the spine and an opposing second edge which is connected to flexible joint or fold-line. The book has a third cover having a first edge which is connected to the flexible joint, that couples the third cover to the back cover, and an opposing second edge which is connected to binding. The front cover is configured to fold back about the spine to retain the third cover proximal the outer edge of the third cover to retain the book in a propped-up position for reading. A page holder slides along the left and right sides of the third cover and has an opening that allows a page to be pushed therethrough.

A book device structure for any and all book devices wherein one or more first attachments are operatively connected to either the front cover, back cover, or one or more internal pages, such that the attachments are functional and may be engaged with by a user of the device. The first attachments resemble a human or nonhuman leg or arm, such that the collective book device structure takes the form of a human or nonhuman character, figure, or individual. When applied to a written, printed, fillable, or blank literary or graphic work, whether published or not, the addition of one or more of these functional attachments to the book device produces unique functionality and a structure that resembles what is referred to as a “Book Character” device structure.

A binding mechanism including a body portion having a flange opening extending therethrough. The body portion further includes or at least partially defines a body portion opening positioned adjacent a base end of the flange. The binding mechanism has a manually deflectable flange coupled to the body portion. At least part of the flange is insertable through the flange opening from a first side of the body portion to at least partially form a loop on the first side of the body portion. The at least part of the flange is alternatively insertable through the flange opening from a second side of the body portion opposite the first side to at least partially form a loop on the second side of the body portion. The body portion opening is configured to receive the flange therethrough to enable the flange to be positioned on either the first side or the second side of the body portion.

A tab is provided for notebooks and binders. The tab is placed within the space otherwise occupied by a binding, and thus is protected from wear and does not appreciably increase the overall size of the notebook or binder. The tab may be located at a corner of the binding or at an intermediate point along the binding.

A multi-page illustrated and written book printed on synthetic paper with an electronics module that can record sounds through one or more microphones to solid-state, digital memory and playback pre-recorded or user recorded audio data from the digital memory device through one or more speakers is disclosed. The book may include one or more of the following either on the front or back cover or on any of the plurality of pages inside the book: mirror, signature page, pocket page, or high-contract geometric patterns.
