I inquired about this and have been told that it's possible you have the cheaper book club (SFBC) editions of those NESFA books and not the actual editions issued by NESFA. The NESFA editions have sturdy sewn bindings. The SFBC versions have the same content and covers, but were issued in a far cheaper format with glued binding.
