law binding
1. A term applied from the 1830s until recently to
a full leather binding (usually a vegetable tanned
lightweight, cream-colored sheepskin) having
laced-in boards and two or more gold-blocked title
labels on the spine (usually red above black); or
a binding with creased bands on the spine and
blind lines around the edges of the boards. 2. A
modern version of the above, i.e., a case binding
consisting of a light tan buckram made to resemble
sheepskin, with red and black paper labels blocked
in gold. See also: LAW
