THE COVER Covers are mass produced at the commercial bindery and look somewhat different from the covers produced by our in-house conservation technicians. Notice how the corners are folded. "library corners" are made by diagonally folding the buckram over the corner of the board. This is a technique that can be performed much faster than the "square corners" used by the library�s conservation technicians, which require cutting and shaping.
