are bound in all manner of materials including various papers, cloths, hides and even metals to increase aesthetic appeal or durability.</p><p>Contemporary custom dictates that a book in its original binding is superior to most re-bindings that were accomplished after the fact.  The major exception to this rule is when the book has been re-bound by a noted bookbinder with historical significance in which case it is sometimes the binding rather than the book that has collectible status. </p><p>However this was not always the case.  In the Victorian age most book owners felt that any book worth keeping deserved to be rebound, usually in some form of leather to become part of your personal library.  This means books from this era (when book owners were wealthy and privileged), and earlier, have often been re-bound making the original publisher’s bindings that much rarer. </p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center > <div class="Enhancement-item" data-modulewell> <div

</div> <div class="PromoF-small-content"> <div class="PromoF-small-title"> <span class="Link ">Original cloth</span> </div> <div class="PromoF-small-description">Beginning around the 1830s, publishers began binding their books in cloth as an alternative to plain boards. What began as a novelty and a way of advertising and differentiating their books eventually became the norm. Book-buyers began to see cloth boards as a cheap alternative to re-binding all their own books, and the number of people re-binding books for their library began to decline. The terms ‘original cloth’, ‘publishers cloth’, and ‘edition cloth’ all refer to publications where the original binding of the book was, and continues to be, cloth.</div> </div> </div> </div><div class="ListH-small-items-item" data-item> <div class="PromoF-small" data-module="narrow" data-has-media data-is-enhancement > <div class="PromoF-small-thumbnail"> <span class="Link "><picture> <source media="(max-width: 568px)" type="image/webp" width="125" height="190" data-image-size="articleImage_sm" data-srcset="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/bd3960e/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/250x380!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset='data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxOTBweCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyNXB4Ij48L3N2Zz4='/> <source media="(max-width: 568px)" width="125" height="190" data-image-size="articleImage_sm" data-srcset="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/c8ec96d/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/125x190!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset='data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxOTBweCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyNXB4Ij48L3N2Zz4='/> <source type="image/webp" width="125" height="190" data-image-size="articleImage" data-srcset="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/bd3960e/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/250x380!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg 2x" data-lazy-load="true" srcset='data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxOTBweCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyNXB4Ij48L3N2Zz4='/> <source width="125" height="190" data-image-size="articleImage" data-srcset="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/86ba379/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/125x190!/format/jpg/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" srcset='data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxOTBweCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyNXB4Ij48L3N2Zz4='/> <img class="Image" data-image-size="articleImage" alt="a hard cover first edition copy of The Catcher in the Rye in dust jacket" srcset="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/a719c87/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/250x380!/format/jpg/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg 2x" width="125" height="190" data-src="https://assets.brightspot.abebooks.a2z.com/dims4/default/86ba379/2147483647/strip/true/crop/125x190+0+0/resize/125x190!/format/jpg/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fabebooks-brightspot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com%2F0e%2F14%2Ff36aacc0576b8752502509138572%2Fdust-jacket.jpg" data-lazy-load="true" src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZlcnNpb249IjEuMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxOTBweCIgd2lkdGg9IjEyNXB4Ij48L3N2Zz4="> </picture> </span> </div> <div class="PromoF-small-content"> <div class="PromoF-small-title"> <span class="Link ">Dust jackets</span> </div> <div class="PromoF-small-description"><a class="Link " href="https://www.abebooks.com/books/features/vintage-dust-jackets.shtml" data-cms-ai="0">Dust jackets</a> or dust wrappers are the paper coverings wrapped around the boards of a book.
