Library binding refers to the heavy-duty covers, spines and construction of books that are manufactured and/or produced to be used in libraries, or in situations where the books will be subject to a lot of use, wear and tear. Not all books in libraries have library bindings, but you can find many classic fiction books, textbooks, reference books, craft and other non-fiction titles in libraries that have, or have been rebound in, that kind of special binding.
Standard hardcover books are the type you'll find in any local bookstore or online bookdealer.

Library bindings are supposed to be a bit stronger and last longer than hardcovers, but for they price they charge, it's better to just buy hardcovers.

"Hardcover" is basically like the regularly happening difficult-decrease back e book you will locate in any e book place--the single with the detachable hide which has no longer something overlaying it. The "Library Binding", is fairly like the "hardcover", different than it has a skinny plastic slip overlaying hide, like those you many times see in a library. . . . i think of.
