boards : Common term for the covers of a hardbound book.
DJ : Short for dust jacket, a protective and often decorative wrapper, usually made of paper which wraps around the binding of a book.
spine : The outer portion of a book which covers the actual binding. The spine usually faces outward when a book is placed on a shelf. Also known as the back.

shelf wear : Minor wear resulting from a book being place on, and taken from a bookshelf, especially along the bottom edge.
Closed tears : Tears in which no material has been lost.
