dust jacket : A protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book. spine : The outer portion of a book which covers the actual binding. The spine usually faces outward when a book is placed on a shelf. Also known as the back. fore edge : The portion of a book that is opposite the spine. Depending on context, may refer to either the text edges, or the board edges. price clipped : The portion of the dust jacket flap where the publisher prints the suggested price has been cut away. Usually this is a clean 1-2" diagonal cut made with scissors. tight : Used to mean that the binding of a book has not been overly loosened by frequent use. endpaper : The double leaves bound into a book at the front and rear after printing. One side is glued to the inner portion of the boards (the paste-down) and the other is left loose (free endpaper). pastedown : The paper glued to the inside cover of a hard cover book.
