Bound volumes
Bound volumes are complete, hardcover or softcover collections of a publication, such as a magazine, journal, or series of books, assembled into a single, cohesive set. They compile all issues or editions for a specific period, like a year or volume number, and are typically used for preservation and easy reference. Bound volumes are valued by libraries, collectors, and researchers because they provide a durable, organized way to access and study a series of related work without dealing with individual loose issues.
