"Points of this fashion include the use of wooden boards, with grooved edges; smooth backs, with no bands showing through; raised headcaps at top and bottom of the back, containing a double row of sewn headbands; edges of the leaves cut flush with the boards; clasps made of braided leather, catching on pins protruding from the edge of the boards of the upper covers."--Needham.
