<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Historically speaking, at least, would not binders frequently, if not mostly, have also been responsible for their designs? If so, it would seem to me that “binding designer” might best be reserved for instances
in which the person in question was only the designer, but that “binder” might potentially include both specializations. My experience is primarily pre-1800, though, so please forgive me if my logic doesn’t apply to the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Georgia","serif"">RBMS relationship designators include terms for “binder” and for “binding designer.” Presumably, the first of these does the labor, the second conceives of the design.
