I noticed a book type listed as "turtleback." What is that?

Typically a mass-market paperback that has been rebound as a hardcover.

Wow, I've never seen that before. You learn something new every day! (Well, I do anyway. LOL) I knew there's a good reason why I read the forums. :)

many of the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides are turtlebacks, except in this case, they aren't HBs. They have extended coverflaps that can be used to mark places in the guidebooks.
