Also, if I could, I’d never buy another spiral-bound book for the library.

After 223 votes, “hardcover” has consistently gained 60% percent of the vote, so I guess that’s the winner. I personally say “hardback,” and will probably continue to do so, and will chalk it up to my Buckeye background. Thanks everyone for voting.

But to add another wrinkle, there are also many book vendor descriptions that use “Cloth” vs “Paper.”
