binding slip
A card, slip, sheet, or other form of written
instructions sent to the bindery with each volume,
or set of volumes, specifying the binding
requirements for that volume or set. The typical
binding slip generally specifies the author (if
any), title (sometimes binding specifications
abbreviated), classification number, other
bibliographical information, binding style (unless
previously agreed upon), color of covering
material, as well as any peculiarities of the book
that should be brought to the attention of the
binder, such as margins, condition of the paper,
foldouts, loose material (for pockets), etc. A
multiple form provides identical copies for the
binder, as well as the library, and serves as
verification for the work specified.
