bind from sheets
Bookbinding which originates from the flat or
folded sheets, usually the former, as received
from the printer. Binding from sheets is carried
out principally in edition binderies, although
pamphlet binding, as well as blankbook binding,
might also be considered as such. A book to be
bound by hand will generally be in better binding
condition if received in sheets (or gatherings),
but this occurs only in rare instances today. (83 )
