Thank you to everyone who pointed me to resources (many of which we have in our collection) to get more training on binding specifics

Super helpful

good morning

I am cataloging a volume of a 2 volume 1741 court report (and have zero information about its history - other than one of our other libraries gave it to us)
And it looks like none of the other extant eng records in OCLC mentioned binding.

I 'believe' this is calf, perhaps, Polished Calf.

Dust Jackets. Dust jackets or dust wrappers are the paper coverings wrapped around the boards of a book. Dust jackets began to be used regularly in the late 1800s where they were originally designed to be a disposable packaging to help protect the book until it reached its owner?s library.

What is the best resource (or two) on determining calf leathers in binding?

thank you
