publisher's reinforced binding
A now more-or-less obsolete term, used at one time
in the publishing trade to identify bindings
purported to be strengthened for use in
(circulating) libraries. Misuse of the term, in
that it was used by some publishers for bindings
that were actually no stronger than regular
bindings of other publishers, has made it
virtually meaningless. (16 )
