art binding
A term sometimes used to describe a book that has
been bound by a master craftsman in the "best
manner," using only the finest materials
available. The term is applied only to books bound
by hand and covered in leather or vellum, and
usually only to those bindings that are unique or
at least distinctive in design. (373 )
