Protective coverings used to bind together the pages of a book are sometimes intentionally copied with what type of written work?
Book cover A book cover is any protective covering used to bind together the pages of a book. Beyond the familiar distinction between hardcovers and paperbacks, there are further alternatives and additions, such as dust jackets, ring-binding, and older forms such as the nineteenth-century "paper-boards" and the traditional types of hand-binding. The term "Bookcover" is often used for a book cover image in library management software. This article is concerned with modern mechanically produced covers.
Masking (art) In art, craft, and engineering, masking is the use of materials to protect areas from change, or to focus change on other areas. This can describe either the techniques and materials used to control the development of a work of art by "protecting" a desired area from change; or a phenomenon that (either intentionally or unintentionally) causes a sensation to be "concealed" from conscious attention.
