Leather Covered Books

1. Grungy Worn Leather Cover (1873)

   This Italian book, titled "First Course of French Language," features a stunning leather cover with a grungy, worn appearance. A little birdie drawing and wax droppings add character to its pages, making it a delightful option for alteration.

2. True Story of Milan (1830)

   With a smaller size and another lovely leather cover, "True Story of Milan" is in great condition. Although it's tempting to alter the cover, there are many other books to choose from.

3. Beautiful Leather Cover (1834)

   This Italian book is a true treasure. Not only does it boast a gorgeous cover, but it also holds surprises within its pages. Maps and other unique elements make it a cool book to explore and possibly alter.

2. French Book with Marbled Paper (1850)

   The marbled covers of this French book instantly catch the eye. Even though the book is falling apart, the pages with their intricate designs make it a valuable item for alteration.

3. Latin Book with Nice Paper (1828)

   If you have a penchant for Latin, this book is for you. Its lovely leather spine holds pages with exceptional paper quality, making it an excellent choice for alteration or simply adding to your library.
