Book excerpt: The growing interest in preservation of library collections has fueled the use of the Library Binding Institute Standard for Library Binding. Because the LBI Standard is based on the assumption that the reader understands the machinery and processes employed by the library binding industry, descriptive text is minimal. This guide translates the technical language of the LBI Standard into usable information that should enable librarians to use the LBI Standard to its fullest advantage.
