This article states "In almost all commercial cases, the book in question began as a paperback version." I would suspect that in many, if not most, commercial cases the books began as a set of unbound signatures.
As part of a bibliographic project I inspected ~50 books this morning at the library as as part of that discovered quite a few of that were "prebound." I was familiar with the concept but not the term and eventually found this Wikipedia article (after first visiting prebinding). All of the publications I saw today were of high quality and nothing like the re-binding I've occasionally seen where it's obvious the cover got chopped off a paperback which was then glued into a more substantial binding. Most of the prebound books I saw today were manufactured by Baker & Taylor which advertises their "prebinds" but does not spell out how Baker & Taylor manufactures them.
Thus the present "dispute" is between an article that does not cite sources and my personal observations. Both are worthless for Wikipedia. -- Marc Kupper| talk 04:56, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
So is this just Library Binding that has been done by the publisher? If so does it deserve it's own term? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.145.251.34 ( talk) 13:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
