Volumes

Definition

Volumes are basic units in publishing that refer to bound collections or individual books of written material, especially when they are part of a larger work or series. In publishing, volume doesn't just mean book; it specifically refers to how content is organized, released, and archived within series, multi-part works, and periodicals. A volume could be a single book in a multivolume set, all the works published in one publication cycle of a periodical journal, or a physically bound group of previously published works organized into a single unit.
