"belly band" 的定义和意义

What is a "belly band"?

A belly band is a type of promotional or decorative strip of paper or cardstock that wraps around the cover of a book, often with a printed design or text. It typically fits snugly around the book’s cover and can include information such as the book’s title, author, or a special message. Belly bands are used to enhance the book's presentation, provide additional marketing or promotional details, and sometimes secure the book if it is part of a special edition or boxed set.
