stilted
The SQUARES of a
book that are unusually extensive. A book is
stilted so as to make it of the same height as
other books on the same shelf. Stilting may be
required when one volume of a set is rebound (and
trimmed), in order to make it range with other
volumes of the set. In addition, books issued in
parts were sometimes stilted by a binder who
trimmed excessively. (66 , 69 )
