covers bound in
1. A term used to indicate that the original
covers of a book are used in the rebinding of the
book. It may include the entire covers (including
the spine), the boards and their covering only, or
simply the covering of the boards. Sometimes this
is called "rebuilding old corners." 2. The paper
covers of a periodical issue, pamphlet, booklet,
etc., included in the original binding because of
their bibliographical or illustrative content. In
this sense, the term applies mainly to library
binding. (12 , 156 , 261 )
