British Museum, for instance, in 1933,

"a bundle of loose leaves and quires, held together mainly by glue liberally applied to the back by some particularly inexpert binder of the Middle Ages."

Milne and Skeat p. 71
“Nearly all the inner margins had been contracted by the application of hot glue to the back in the course of successive bindings."

"The overcasting was over the earlier glue at the backs of the sections and little regard was paid to the original gathering."
