[DCRM-L] Question about a unique binding/structure

[ASHLEY ELIZABETH SHAW]

Good morning all, and apologies for any duplication--

I've come across a unique book structure that I was hoping for some insight on. The catalog record for the book in question is here: https://utah-primoprod.hosted.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/f/1rn6k8i/UUU_ALMA21265423680002001

It is a miniature book of common prayer that is "bound-with" a book of hymnals-but they are actually two separate volumes with their own bindings. The first book has a pocket on the back cover where you're supposed to slide the cover of the second book in and combine them, once you've got both. I've never seen something like this; is there a term for this style? I've attached a few pictures via a dropbox folder link below:

Many thanks in advance for your insights!
