binding schemes
A term at one time used to describe an organized
scheme carried through an individual's or
library's book collection, in which, for example,
all books on history were bound in red, technical
books in black, fiction in brown, poetry in buff,
books relating to the sea in blue, books on travel
in orange, and so on. Such schemes have declined
in popularity since the turn of the century, and
particularly since the development of systematic
classification schemes. See also: BRIGHTER BINDING .
