<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manycats, post: 2512051, member: 13761&quot;]The Continental practice, as opposed to American &amp; English, was generally to issue books in paper wrappers, similar to but flimsier than modern paperbacks - many French publishers did this well into the 20th century. The buyer, sometimes a bookseller but usually a wealthy collector, would have their books bound in a uniform style. I have little experience of South American publishing, but the few things I have seen from the nineteenth century would indicate conformation to the Continental pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The basic Tauchnitz editions were issued in paperback, but it was the practice for most of the 19th century for buyers to take them to their own bookbinder to have them bound. &quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://tauchnitzeditions.webs.com/index.htm#627158124" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://tauchnitzeditions.webs.com/index.htm#627158124" rel="nofollow">https://tauchnitzeditions.webs.com/index.htm#627158124</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
