cut flush ( cut flush binding )
A book that has no SQUARES , meaning
that the leaves and covers are cut even, or
"flush." In most cut flush work, trimming is done
after the covers (which are usually, but by no
means always, paper, limp, or the self-covers of a
pamphlet) have been attached. The trimming is
generally done in a guillotine cutter. As a (very)
general rule, no book with any degree of
pretension is cut flush. (335 , 339 , 343 )
