I probably didn't use the right terminology because I don't know what they're called.

Most "standard" hardbacks are glued (bound) to a fabric backing. Here is an image, the yellow/black striping is where the pages are glued/bound to:

Book Club Books lack that fabric, just having the glue holding each page together -- rather fragile without the fabric backing!
