BTSB Prebound Books last longer than any other editions!
Bound To Stay Bound books are bound to the rigid specifications of the ANSI/NISO/LBI* Z39.78-2000 standard for library binding to give them superior quality, appearance, and most importantly, long life. Only our prebound books are strong enough to withstand repeated use by young readers and still remain in good, useable condition.
Quality Binding you can depend on
The ANSI/NISO/LBI Z39.78-2000 standard is based solely on performance; every Bound To Stay Bound book meets or exceeds those performance standards.
*American National Standards Institute / National Information Standards Organization / Library Binding Institute

Our Binding
 |
Quality Binding BTSB follows LBI binding standards to assure the best possible durability. Books over 5/8" thick are over sewn, allowing each section of pages to be sewn to adjoining sections. Books of lesser thickness are side-sewn while books with narrow margins are library adhesive bound. |
 |
Fray-Proof Corners A double fold of our cover material reinforces book corners and prevents fraying, assuring that our corners always maintain a fresh appearance. |
 |
Rounding & Backing To enable ease of opening, BTSB books undergo this process, helping them to maintain their shape and never lose pages due to broken threads. |
 |
Reinforced Endpapers Exclusive 3-leaf endpapers, reinforced with a cloth hinge, are a feature of each BTSB book. |
 |
Picture Covers Made from our durable buckram or Kid Proof material™, our BTSB Picture Cover™ Plus is imprinted with each title's original artwork. A protective coating is applied to further enhance protection and assure increased circulation. |

BTSB... The Best Buy
What is the actual cost of a book in your library? The cost of acquisition plus the list price, less discount, will answer that question.
But how much will a book cost each time it circulates? The actual cost divided by the number of circulations will give you that figure. And that Cost Per Circulation may shock you!
