And sometimes, a hundred-odd years later, some pages remain uncut, like in this collection of Brieux plays!

DYK?
The ragged edge on some new books is rooted in the old practice of selling books "uncut." A book is a stack of sheets folded into 4 or 8 ("quires.") The "folded" edge was often left as-is, & readers would cut along the fold with a letter-opener to open it. The torn edge remained.
