  covered with fabric, plastic or leather. Also called cloth bind, edition bind, hard bind and hard cover

  affixing paper cover. Also called burst bind, notch bind and slotted bind. This method is used for binding
  soft cover books where sheets are held together with a flexible adhesive

  through the backbone or spine of the booklet.
