A non-fiction book is one that presents factual information, real events, or true stories rather than fictional content. Therefore, the term "informative" describes non-fiction books well because their primary purpose is to provide knowledge, facts, insights, or analysis on a particular topic, subject, or theme. Readers turn to non-fiction books to gain understanding, learn new things, or explore real-life experiences, making them valuable sources of information and education.Rate this question:
