I was not being cynical. I actually do want to know, how do you define a “sefer?”
LeftySeferStam, based on his post above, seems to think it depends on the gender of the author.
Here are some more criteria to consider:
Is it treated as sheimos if ruined?
do you kiss it if it falls?
Can you place it on top of another sefer?
Can you read it prior to saying the morning Birchas HaTorah?
I really am curious to know how people define the word sefer.
