And not recently - it's quite an old transformation, made from an early 19th Century book. The book is full leather but has undergone some restoration in the form of a spine reback (a new leather spine has been attached and the original spine has been glued over the top). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" data-testid=\"ux-textual-display\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ux-textspans\"\u003eIt's wonderful to think what secrets this book may have held for people over the years - or was it used to hold treasured items? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" data-testid=\"ux-textual-display\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ux-textspans\"\u003eIt shows the wear you'd expect from a book this age - the leather is scuffed, with some loss to the surface around the edges and corners. There is also some loss to the spine ends of the original spine. Inside, the front hinge has been reinforced with tape and the safe part of the book is lined with the original marbled endpaper. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" data-testid=\"ux-textual-display\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ux-textspans\"\u003eDimensions approximately 21.4cm x 14cm x 3.3cm. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" data-testid=\"ux-textual-display\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ux-textspans\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and ribbon.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape.
