Bookful

/ˈbʊkfʊl/ noun

Definition

The amount of content that fills one book; as much information as a book can hold.

Etymology

From book + -ful (quantity that fills something), following the pattern of handful, cupful, bucketful.

Kelly Says

A bookful is harder to define than a cupful because books vary so much—a bookful of poetry might be 100 pages while a bookful of technical information might be 400 pages, yet both are complete in one book.
