World’s oldest book?
In November 1984, 136 kilometers south of Cairo, a young Egyptian archaeologist discovered what may well be the oldest book in the world.
Dating back to the second half of the 4th century, it was found in the tomb of an 11-year-old girl, placed underneath her head. Hailed as the earliest complete book of Psalms ever found, it was hand-written in a dialect once used by Egypt’s first Christians Coptic Oxyrhynchus in Greek letters.
It took six months to separate the 252 papyrus leaves of the book, which were bound between two polished wooden covers with a leather spine, and years to restore. It was finally put on display at Cairo’s Coptic Museum in 1992.

In my World Civilizations class we discussed that The Epic of Gilgamesh was the first written story for pleasure, not records of trade or receipts or anything. (That would be in the 3000s BC, in the Mesopotamia region.) It was literature. As far as printed works go, I'd say the Gutenberg Bible because it was the first printed book.

I don't think anybody invented the book. It was a process of evolution no matter how you look at it; inventions of great magnitude usually are. But Daniel Defoe wrote the widely acknowledged first English novel Robinson Crusoe or, depending on how you look at it, Moll Flanders (also by Defoe). Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press, and so could potentially have "invented" the idea of a bound book.

as a total guess i would think it was the Egyptians, they were using papyrus as sheets they must have stuck a few together and 'invented' a book

The Epic of Gilgamesh is considered to be the first "written work."
