The Manuscript Codex * Binding

PASTEDOWN
A folio adhered to the inside of the front or back board that is either conjoint with a leaf sewn into the textblock or is conjoint with a leaf tipped onto the outer page of the sewn textblock. It always covers the inside joint between the cover and the spine but, in the case of the back cover, never extends over the inner surface of the fore-edge flap and envelope flap.
