A paper cover is the binding of a paperback book. "Paperback books are bound in paper rather than a case made of boards. The paperback cover is one piece of heavy paper, scored to turn at the spine, and trimmed along with the book block, making the cover and the pages exactly the same size. The book block is (usually) pasted directly into the spine, so it doesn’t separate from the body of the book when you open it. If a book is bound tightly, the spine will need to be 'cracked' so it can open fully." [1]
