binding variations
Differences in the bindings of books issued in the
same edition by a publisher. The differences might
include color or type of cloth, blocking, etc.
Such variations may stem from a number of
manufacturing causes, especially if all copies
printed are not bound at the same time, or some
are rebound, as in REMAINDER BINDING .
Variations may also result from unsatisfactory
storage conditions. (69 , 156 )
