This customer contacted me because he wanted to give a book to a friend to encourage her to write her memoirs.   This book has 200 pages of unlined off-white paper.  The pages are 9" tall by 6" wide.  The cover is dark brown goatskin.  There are raised panels on the front & back covers and an recessed dragonfly image on the front.  This was successful because dragonflies have such a great, recognizable shape.  This dark brown leather is rather thick and an intricate raised or recessed design would not have been possible.  This very basic outline of a dragonfly was about as complex as it could be when using this leather.  This book has the title and author's name stamped on the front in gold foil with a serif type.  The spine has raised cords outlined with blind stamped lines and the title of the book in gold.  This book also has a wide dark brown ribbon page marker.

A book like this would cost around $280.
