hello everyone!
i wanted to know whats the correct preposition to be used with "book". as in, which of the following sentences are correct. why or why not.
1. I am reading a book by Charles Dickens. (why not "of charles dickens"?)
2. I am a reading a book on cooking.
3. I own a book of chemistry. (why not "on chemistry'?)
Can "about" be used as a preposition proceeding "book".
I would really appreciate a proper explanation, for I need to explain it to someone.
thanks!
