[DCRM-L] Deckled edges vs. Untrimmed edges

[Ted P Gemberling]

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.
Thanks,
