By definition, a blook is a printed book that is based on content from a blog.

The first printed blook was User Interface Design for Programmers, by software engineer Joel Spolsky, published in June 2001, based on his blog. Another blook was written by Tony Pierce in 2002 by compiling posts from his blog. The term 'blook' was invented by American journalist and professor Jeff Jarvis. 'Blook' was shortlisted in 2006 for inclusion in the Oxford English Dictionary and was a runner-up for Word of the Year.
