quarter-bound cut flush
A type of stationery binding that is wire stabbed
and has cloth-jointed endpapers. The boards, which
are placed approximately one-quarter inch from the
wire stabbing are glued to the endpapers before
trimming. The cloth covering is then attached to
the spine overlapping the paper-lined boards. The
book and its covers are then trimmed flush. This
style of binding, which is now virtually obsolete,
was used mainly for order books. (58 )
