VMs: Re: Binding

["GC" <gc-@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the info.  We have a number for the top end.  Does anyone have a
number for the earlier end?  The images clearly show the compilation of the
folios and the function of the leather laces seen on the cover as a binder.
This is a much simpler binding than *most* 17th century books.  Any ideas,
insights?
