You care enough to post to this thread, apparently. :)

If you read the thread you will see I am talking about the "printed" book.

"Bible

Bible, the English form of the Greek name _Biblia_, meaning "books," the name
which in the fifth century began to be given to the entire collection of sacred
books, the "Library of Divine Revelation." The name Bible was adopted by
Wickliffe, and came gradually into use in our English language....... "

Byblos (bĭb'ləs) , ancient city, Phoenicia, a port 17 mi (27 km) NNE of modern Beirut, Lebanon. The principal city of Phoenicia during the 2d millennium B.C., it long retained importance as an active port under the Persians. Because of its papyruses, it was also the source of the Greek word for book and, hence, of the name of the Bible. Excavations of Byblos, especially since 1922, have shown that trade existed between Byblos and Egypt as early as c.2800 B.C. A syllabic script found at Byblos dates from the 18th to the 15th cent. B.C.
