<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 11362913, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i recently bought this 3 volume set of old books. it's Dante's Divine Comedy in Italian. i bought them for resale and i'm realizing i don't know any of the technical terminology involved in explaining and describing them. I thought they were bound in velum, but i'm seeing where velum book covers aren't usually as hard. what would be the best way to describe the bindings? what are the little stitches in the corners called? when i first found these i could find only one other example of this edition online. it's bound and looks completely different. i'm wondering if this would be considered a better or "deluxe" edition of these books? i think they're in very nice condition for their age. Also, they measure 9.5" by 6.25". i doubt if they're worth a fortune, but i'm hoping to turn a profit with them. really any information would be greatly appreciated...thanks</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]541801[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541802[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541803[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541804[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]541806[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]541807[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]541808[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
