Flat spine: This construction contrasts with the rounded spine book . A stiff piece of board approximately the width of spine edge of the text block is joined to the book boards to create a case. In preparation for assembly, the signatures are carefully leveled (rather than curved) so that they rest flat against the spine of the book.”
