One might say the same of many serial publications that are not books. 
What would be the equivalent of a binding? Are scrolls books or are 
their contents the books?

The content of a website can become a book. I did one of the first, 
Lineland, Mortality and Mercy on the Internet's Pynchon-l@xxxxxxxxx 
<http://www.cafecancun.com/bookarts/lineland.shtml>. But were the 
archives of pynchon-l a book even before I did that?

I think that any expression of the book artist's art -- including 
self-promotion and non-book-like works -- is relevant here.
