Most of the books I make are blank, but this was a rebinding of a fraternity rule and ceremony book. I created a new cover to fit the existing, bound pages.  The high-relief intertwined intitals were hand-carved from binder's board and added to the cover before the leather was worked down over them.   My customer's initals are blind stamped in the lower right of the front cover.
