calf lined
A lining on the innerside of a limp cover,
consisting of CALFSKIN in lieu of
the board paper. This type of lining was thin and
glued to the leather cover only at the outer
edges. This left the covers pliable so that the
book could be rolled up. Calf linings have been
used at various times, and, although they are
still used to some extent today, their most
extensive use was in the years immediately before
and after 1900. (105 )
