You're right, Scot: they're not "hardbacks"; they are "casebound" with boards and spine and, in the modern era at least, preferably, Smyth sewn bindings. Every casebound book we produced at Eisenbrauns as Smyth sewn—and many of the paperbacks (so-called) were as well. Too many books nowadays have the intellectual and physical half-life of a Starbucks coffee.

Good to see my old friend has not lost his love for books or reading or learning

I appreciate that you dive into the words ( read the books) and share them with us.

I listen to the books and appreciate especially when the author reads them. In my profession I do need to read the books because of the nature of them. I do really like reading research 🧐.
