binder's cloth
A cloth binding of any age, which is not the
product of EDITION
BINDING . The term was most commonly used to
indicate collections of pamphlets, French novels,
etc., which the collector did not have bound in
leather. Such bindings are almost always blocked
from type or standard dies, and, if decorated at
all, usually in an ordinary manner. Exceptions
date from the earliest years of edition binding in
cloth, when materials and style were still in the
early stages of development. (69 )
