The Bleeding Edge has a cartographic (or printing) origin

[Markekohut]

I remember when I first heard the phrase " full bleed" to describe the artwork on a book jacket. 
It sticks with one. 

Two projects for the interested. look up " full bleed" and Bailey's others on google and in Google Books...and (The) Bleeding Edge, especially, in Google Books. Lots of resonances.
