Unfinished Business: Incomplete Bindings made for the Booktrade from the Fifteenth to the Nineteenth Century.
There is compelling evidence of the use by the booktrade from the late fifteenth to the early nineteenth centuries of partly-completed sewn bindings with permanent structures, with or without boards, but without permanent covers. They allowed books to be held together as they went through the booktr...
