Little, Brown Bindings are Smyth or side sewn through sturdy cloth strips. Books with library bindings (side sewn with Cambric reinforcement) are described as such on the catalog page. Little, Brown does not distinguish special terms for library bindings. Regular trade bindings for books for older age levels are Smyth or side sewn or adhesive bound without special reinforcement in a variety of cover materials, including full cloth and durable paper or nonwoven book coverings.

PRODUCT-SAFETY INFORMATIONSafety is an important priority for Hachette Book Group. For this reason, when we publish non-traditional children’s boks—that is, books with Novelty elements—we require the vendors of the Novelty components to assure us that the components meet prevailing safety guidelines. Beyond that, we test each Novelty book at an independent testing facility ourselves to assure strict adherence to safety standards. Additionally, each product is labeled with the suggested age range along with any warnings applicable to the suggested age range.

Our goal is to produce entertaining, educational, and informative books that readers can enjoy without risk of injury. We take our responsibility seriously, and appreciate your support of Hachette Book Group.
