Book Block: Endpapers, text block and all other materials before hard or soft binding.

Bonded Leather: A hard binding material that is made by mixing genuine leather fibers with an adhesive – bonding them into a viable cover material that is then embossed to reproduce the original texture. Less durable than genuine leather, it does retain it’s distinct smell.

E-Magazine Volume 12 Issue 5: Design Thursday, May 2 2013 

Hard bound books using bonded leather cover material is a fairly economical upgrade in elegance. A great “coffee table book” cover, it even retains much of the unique smell of leather. This material averages an up-charge of $5.00 per book in small quantities – if the color selected is in stock.
