boards : Common term for the covers of a hardbound book.
DJ : Short for 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.
reprint : Any printing of a book which follows the original edition. By definition, a reprint is not a first edition.
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.
gilt : The decorative application of gold or gold coloring to a portion of a book. The edges of the text block, or an inlay in the front cover of the boards, for example.
sunned : The affected portion of the book has been discolored from exposure to the sun.
endpapers : The first and last two pages (verso and recto) from the front and back of a book.
