covers: Library Cloth covers, which are designed
for durability in high-use environments, and
Art Cloth covers, which are designed for art and
photography books. The Library Cloth covers

covers.

comprised of the printed pages of the book and
the endleaves. It is important to note that the

for instance, indicates that the book block is
6" × 9", not that the cover is 6" × 9".
