Perfect Binding is a widely used soft cover (paperback) book binding method. With this binding method, the pages and cover are glued together at the spine with a strong yet flexible glue. The cover and inner pages are then trimmed flush.
Casebinding (Hardback) A method of binding in which the cover is made separately but consists of rigid boards covered with printed paper, cloth or other material, in such a manner that the covering material surrounds the outside and the edges of the board. Covers always project beyond the trimmed edges of the text pages. PPC = Printed paper Case. CBJ = Cloth (Wibalin), Block and Jacket.
