Truly individual covers are formed of the carved boards. The design is enhanced with paints and rub-n-buf. More color and interest is added with the lavishly colored and stamped (if desired) leather spine. A unique and embellishing beaded binding is a distinguishing feature of this book. A button closure adorns this charming volume.
