Library Binding specifications

[Annie Armour <aarmour@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I would really like to be pointed to literature that discusses the
rounded/backed vs flat-backed wide hinge binding styles.  I'd especially
like to see any results of materials testing.

I'd also like personal comments from people on this list.

We're considering new binders, and one does primarily rounding/backing,
while another does exclusively flat-back wide hinge unless you request r-b.
I've heard the arguments from the binders themselves, so now I'd like
information from those with less investment in the products.

Thanks very much,
