Definition

"A book that has not had its edges cut smooth in the guillotine, plow, or three-knife trimmer, and which may have unevenly projecting leaves, generally at the head and fore edge, or flat paper which has not been trimmed in the guillotine or other cutting machine." <ref name="Etherington">Roberts, Matt T. and Don Etherington. "Untrimmed". Bookbinding and the Conservation of Books, A Dictionary of Descriptive Terminology. Conservation Online, 1994. Web. 3 September 2014.</ref>

For the term that describes a book which can't be read because the pages were never separated via cutting at the head or fore-edges, see uncut.
