Palm leaf book: A book made of palm leaves. Palm leaf books were common in India and Southeast Asia: the leaves were trimmed, flattened, and polished smooth with sand, after which holes were drilled into the leaves and the resulting stack could be bound together with a cord or rod. Palm leaf books were protected by wooden covers. Tibetan books, although they are now written on paper, still mimic the distinctive shape of palm leaves.
