Topedge and Top Edge Gilt

The flat surface that is created at the top of the textblock by the accumulated edges of the pages of a book. Sometimes called the "top edge," the space denoting a pause, during which the bookseller struggled for the term. If the binder has trimmed and gilded the top of the text block, this is refered to as "top edge gilt" or simply "t.e.g." This copy of the first edition of Charles Dickens' Sketches by Boz, offered in our Catalog 119, was bound by Birdsall with top edge gilt.
