A specific physical format of the religious text utilized by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, this edition features a coil binding method. This binding style allows the publication to lay flat, or fold back on itself, providing ease of use during study and reference. A standard bound version, in contrast, often requires manual holding or propping open.
The adoption of this particular format offers several advantages. Durability is enhanced, as the pages are less likely to detach compared to some traditional bindings. The ability to lay flat facilitates note-taking directly within the text. Furthermore, for individuals with physical limitations, the flexible nature of this binding can improve accessibility. Its historical context reflects a practical response to user needs and preferences within the Latter-day Saint community.
