Oroboros, I think AbeBooks has a glossary somewhere on its site. So does Powell's, I believe. :-)
Thanks! Boy, it sure is bringing back memories, too....Nothing can make you woozier than wrapping up a first edition of Paradise Lost to ship to a customer via UPS, or cataloging an illuminated manuscript created in the 12th century. Amazing. :-)
This is great R., now I know where to look when I'm puzzling my way thru ABE books, et al.
This really is a fascinating list. I never would have guessed there was so much jargon related to this field! Or so much detail to be found in the construction of a book. I always thought it was just front cover, pages, and back cover. And if you want to get really technical, binding. Oooooh.
