[DCRM-L] Silk bindings

[Cawelti, Andrea]

Fellow catalogers, today I had occasion to catalog several 19th cen. souvenir programs, all of which were in lovely silk bindings. But I was surprised to discover that the genre term "Silk bindings" was not to be found. Is it simply that no one has proposed this, or is there something about this term that I am not aware of, which keeps it out of any thesaurus? Grateful for any commentary/suggestions,
Andrea
