buffingnette
A water-resistant cloth made in imitation of
leather. While it is adequate for the sides of
books that receive considerable use, as it is
stain and water resistant, it is not adequate for
full covering, as it does not wear well in the
areas of the joints. It is also difficult to
block, and labels do not adhere to it well unless
the surface is abraded and coated with shellac.
