Hardcovers come with a paper pictured dustjacket!.
And hardcovers from the library, have the dustjacket covered
in a plastic see through sheet, for protection!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There are three kinds of library binding that I've noticed:
paperbacks with stiff-laminated covers
hardcovers with the dustjacket information printed on the paper covering the cardboard
books that have been re-bound with heavy-duty cardboard and textured paperWww@QuestionHome@Com

I think perhaps Library Binding would be the clear-sealed cover or even the hardback book that has the cover printed on it without the slip!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think library binding might be like paperback so its like not hard!. or as i call it: flappy books!.
but im not sure so keep loking for answers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
