Casing has been the normal method of edition-binding for more than a hundred and fifty years; and although the result, which is a ready-to-wear not a tailored job, cannot compare with binding for durability, it is perfectly adequate for cloth-bound books. Today, indeed, casing is so much taken for granted that the words bound and binding – as in ‘cloth-bound’ or ‘publisher’s binding’ – are used without regard to the important technical distinction between the two methods. It is also used for covering books in leather.

Eliot or Edmund Wilson – or, if that has proved elusive, from the DNB, DAB, Cambridge History of English Literature, BAL, PMM or even the Encyclopaedia Britannica. For modern books, words found on the jacket may suffice. g. ‘Macaulay is reputed to have read all four volumes of this book at a sitting’, or ‘General Burgoyne said he would rather have written this poem than capture New York’. Type (ii) is probably the commonest, and it varies widely with the character (and prose style) of the cataloguer.
