Calf binding is a type of bookbinding where the cover is made from calfskin, a leather known for its smooth texture and durability. This method was commonly used for high-quality books due to calfskin's attractive appearance and strong, flexible nature. Calf binding involves covering the book’s boards with the leather, which is often dyed or decorated to enhance the book’s visual appeal. The binding provides a sturdy and elegant finish, protecting the book while adding a touch of sophistication.
