Library Binding Institute
A trade association of commercial library
bookbinders of the United States and Canada,
suppliers to the bookbinding industry and
institutional bookbinders. One of the Institute's
principal objectives is to inspect and certify
library binderies as to the quality of materials
and level of workmanship in the books they bind.
No library bindery whose binding fails to meet the
Institute's standards promulgated on January 1,
1958, can warrant its binding to be Library
Binding and, therefore, to be in compliance with
all the requirements of the Library Binding
Institute standard for library binding. (208 )
