recased
In a strict sense, a text block that is separated
from its case, and, following repair to text block
and case, is then placed back into the same case,
perhaps with new endpapers, or possibly simply
with new hinges. In a more general sense, a book
is recased when the text block is removed from its
original case (usually a publisher's binding) and
placed in a new case made specifically for it. The
first method might be said to be the work of the
hand binder, and the second the work of the
library binder. (69
