Heft oder Buch? Hi guys! Please, someone could help me here? I notice that there are two ways for me to say "BOOK" (with stories) in German: HEFT and BUCH. There are some special use for each one of the words, they are dialects, or can I use the one I choose? Dankeschon!!!

Heft = Exercise book (a notebook that is typically used in schools to copy down schoolwork and notes) Buch = Book (a set of printed sheets fastened together to hinge at one side, e.g. novels etc.)

Für mich sind ´Heft´ und ´Buch´ zwei verschiedene Sachen. ´Buch´: z.B. ein Buch von Hemingway (man würde niemals ´Heft´ sagen). ´Heft´: vielleicht ein Comic (in diesem Fall kann man ´Buch´ oder ´Heft´ benutzen). Oder ein Schreibheft, in das man Sachen z.B. während des Unterrichts hineinschreibt.
