yapp
/jap
/noun [mass noun] British
A form of bookbinding with a limp leather cover projecting to fold over the edges of the leaves, typically used for bibles: [as modifier]: an old yapp album...
- Other attempts to reduce size made by yapp are leaving out whitespace, and avoiding use of the system library.
