Spanish term or phrase: ejemplares en rama
This is a description of a publication. It seems to be an illustrated, limited edition, but I am not sure what this term means:

Se edita Los Rivero, un manuscrito de cuatro páginas de Jorge Luis Borges descubierto en la Universidad de Texas, Austin, por el escritor peruano Julio Ortega. Alonso realiza dos retratos de los personajes y uno del escritor. Se trata de una tirada única de cien ejemplares en rama, presentados en un estuche entelado, impresos a color, numerados y firmados por el editor.

Explanation:
Las encuadernaciones «en rama» no son propiamente encuadernaciones, se trata del libro impreso tal cual salía de la imprenta, con los cuadernos plegados y ordenados, y que solían tener un cosido sin nervios, muy ligero, para mantenerlos juntos.
Las «tapas» no lo son estrictamente, se trata de un paper encolado por el lomo con r el libro.

agree  ezpz: I think I'd write "unbound copy" or "loose print", but it's the same really. https://www.lexico.com/es/definicion/en_rama + https://www.printpond.co.uk/faq/what-is-unbound-or-loose-pri...
