As the world becomes evermore transitioned to technology and e-books, there remains a loyal group of readers who still enjoy the finer things in life. Nothing compares to the feel of a fine leather book, the comfort of a study filled with hand-crafted novels, or the fulfillment of picking up an old hardcover and reminiscing on the lessons learned and adventures traveled.
The Leather Book Library's mission is to ensure that people like you and I can always find the next beautiful book to add to our collection. We are dedicated to offering friendly, traditional customer service and are honored to craft our books here in the USA.
We have developed a process where, for the first time ever, you can order ANY book bound in a custom leather cover. All we need to know from you are a few key pieces of information, which are:
1) What is the title and ISBN of the book? (you can normally find this from a simple Amazon search - at times there are MANY versions, so pick the version you want, then go to bottom of page to find the ISBN).
2) What type of book cover do you prefer?
Faux Leather ($122): the Basic Faux Leather-Bound books are produced with imitation leather. This is an elegant, durable piece and is available in a variety of colors. Base price includes title & author printed on the front and spine in Gold, White or Black. Adding Diamond Frame is $67.99 as we also need to upgrade fonts as well (upgraded fonts are included in the genuine leather pricing).
Genuine Leather ($275.99): the traditional material used in bookbinding throughout history. Our Genuine Leather is a high-end, durable pigskin, kidskin or cowhide that will be the perfect fit in your collection. Genuine leather is the best option for heavy use as it is designed to handle the elements. Base price includes title & author printed on front and spine in Gold, Silver, Copper, White, Red, Blue or Black. Add special Diamond Frame to front for additional $50.
Glaze Leather ($325.99): Glazed leather is the highest quality product we offer. It is genuine leather that is treated to give it a broken in, soft feel. It is closest to a broken in leather jacket or couch and looks very rustic. Base price includes title & author printed on front and spine in Gold, Silver, Copper, White, Red, Blue or Black. Add special Diamond Frame to front for additional $50.
Laminate Cover ($149.99): A glossy laminate cover is a book cover that has a picture or logo printed on it. It looks similar to a text book or other full color printed hard cover book. This product provides for the top level of customization, as ANY design can be printed on the cover. YOU design and provide us with a PDF to print. Or, we can take a copy of the paperback cover, to turn it into the hardcover!

Standard turnaround time is 6-8 weeks, 3-4 week rush is available at check-out but cannot be guaranteed at this time due to a larger amount of orders and a smaller amount of available book binders.
