Talk:Uncut

Uncut pages, or simply uncut, "traditionally refers to a book which has not been trimmed by rebinding. Prior to the mid-nineteenth century publishers often sold books with a paper or cloth binding intended to be temporary. The purchaser of the book would then make arrangements with a binder to have the book cut and suitably bound, typically in leather...The term is also often used to describe a book with the pages still attached to the adjacent page at the top or fore edge. This usage is common but technically incorrect, and the preferred term is unopened or...untouched."
