There many, many pictures of the leather book covers made of in the
last
few years. They are found in the following gallery links.
If
you find something that is similar to what you want custom made for
you, please take note of the picture number and use that number when
asking for a quotation for you. Picture numbers normally take
the form xxxxxDSCyyyy.JPG. (Note:
The picture number appears when looking at the single cover
and
when you select picture details. On a laptop or desktop the "picture
details" is a pull down menu near the top right. On a tablet or phone
the "picture details" are selected with the three little dots near the
top right.)

.: Basic
Construction
The simplest
leather book cover is just a cover that is assembled with #207 bonded
polyester black or white thread. They are a "slip-on"
design,
much like the old way we used to cover our
school books with cut up paper grocery bags. The book just slips its
covers into the two flaps of the cover. Mort expensive covers are
constructed with black leather lace that is hand braided either just
across the top and bottom or all around the cover.
To add any
decorations (Circle/Triangle, Medallion Holder, etc.) an applique of
vegetable tanned leather will be created with the decorations on it.
The applique will be dyed antique tan to make the lettering
black and enhance the leathers texture and grain. That
applique will be sewn on the cover with #207 bonded polyester
black thread.
Lastly,
optional items like the snap/strap and pen holder are attached and
bookmarks for the laced covers.
