<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">I just saw one thing that bears out your interpretation. The books with “Deckled edges” are all published in 1893 or 1894. They appear to be histories of printing.
One is The binding of books by Herbert P. Horne, and another, Early printed books by E. Gordon Duff. Were those known to be printed in an intentionally “old-fashioned” style?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">Our books with “Untrimmed edges” are all much earlier, but maybe that’s mainly because we don’t ordinarily put physical description 655’s on books later than
about the early 19<sup>th</sup> century. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I assume--though without support from a scope note--the "deckled edges" are edges treated so as to resemble those of untrimmed handmade paper, a bit of late C19+ pseudo-poshery. Untrimmed edges
are just untrimmed, whatever sort of edges they may have, for which I wouldn't use the term "Deckled edges" myself, though I might cite natural deckle edges in a note as evidence that the paper in question is handmade.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">I expect disagreement, for which there is certainly sufficient reason. Perhaps the addition of a term "Artificial deckled edges" would clarify usage. ("Deckle edges" would be the better usage,
since deckle is a noun, not a verb: a deckle leaves deckle edges in the sheet. "Deckle" as a verb might mean ... to knock someone to the floor repeatedly?)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">This interpretation
<i>is</i> supported by the UF "Feathered edges" for "Deckled edges", which could only be an artificial feature, if the phrase is even standard usage in some context (I don't recall seeing it in a bibliographical writing).<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I’ve noticed recently that our library has used both ACRL Paper terms “Deckled edges” and “Untrimmed edges.” I notice that both the Paper Terms and Binding Terms thesauri have “Untrimmed
edges”; “Deckled” is only in Paper Terms. What is the difference? I looked up the terms in ABC for Book Collectors and couldn’t figure out what the difference was.
