half-bound
a. transitive. To fasten together the sheets of (a book), and put it into a stiff cover. Technically ‘binding’ is covering with leather, vellum, or other durable material; though in ordinary language we say ‘bound in cloth.’ A book is half-bound when it has a leather back, and the sides covered with cloth or paper.
