Binding

[lovesreading06]

I use my library online site to reserve books and renew them etc.

Just while i was searching books on one of them it comes up Binding?

What does Binding mean?

I don't know; maybe the spine is being repaired? :10_confused:

I would guess it means they've gone to get fixed up because the pages are loose / cover is damaged. Once it's rebound it'll be as good as new.

I thought binding just meant whether it was paperback or hardback? :confused:

ETA: Like on abebooks.co.uk

The binding is, basically, whatever binds the book together (including the cover, of course).
