CHAPTER VI. MISCELLANEA.
Book edges and their decoration--Embroidered books--Cloth
bindings--Account books--End papers--Small metal-bound books--Books
bound in tortoiseshell--Chained books--Horn books.
The projecting bosses and corners which occur in mediæval bindings
were to protect them against the friction of other books which lay
upon them, a thin piece of wood dividing them. The books were piled
upon each other, so that if one of the lower ones was wanted it was
necessary to remove the upper ones. This caused much trouble, so that
in due time it was found better to stand the books up on end on shelves.
