Book Glossary – C, D, E

Have you ever been confused when buying a book online thanks to all of the peculiar abbreviations and terminology? I know that I certainly have, and it’s a source of irritation when I have to go traipsing around the Internet in order to find out what each thing actually means. Because of this, I have decided to attempt to create a comprehensive list; an ‘A-Z of Books’, if you will. Hopefully, you will find this new feature informative enough so as not to need to go anywhere else.

C

Closed Tear – A tear with no material missing

D

DEC – (Abbreviation) Decorated

E
