'quarter binding' is supposed to be either cloth or leather, not paper!
Wow! Even H-M's massmarkets are cloth fullbound- I have decried Random House's cheapness in going to cloth quarter bindings!

H-M's 'deluxe' LR 50th is pretty nice- not up to Eaton standard, but fully bound in decent if thin leather, nice paper, with signatures sewn the old-fashioned way and hung flatfoot, and gilt edgesl to boot. I understand that there were quality-control problems with early examples (esp. those shipped to Amazon), but those apparently had been worked out by the time I got mine.
