2. Turtleback binding is specifically designed to withstand the demanding environment of schools and libraries. With a focus on reinforcing the spine, endpapers, binding, and covers, these books will survive the harshest of treatments.

3. Turtleback binding has a lifetime guarantee. The quality of work in Turtleback products is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the book. If the binding does not meet your expectations of quality, it may be replaced free of charge.
