Aged to Perfection


There is something comforting in the warm tones of aged leather.  Most antiquarian books available today are used and have lived for a time in the unique conditions of someone else's library.  As a result, these books have been subject to differing amounts of sunlight, moisture, and wear.  Although detrimental to the health of the leather, these effects produce the character which leather exhibits so well.


Sometimes a little wear and tear is becoming on an aged book.
