Does anyone have a link to a source for ultra-thin leather suitable for book covering?
Thanks.

Rcj, let me look at work. I think i have a link there. I will say that springfield leather sometimes has 1 or 2 oz kid leather which is pretty spot on.

Because I am weird, I have been slowly working on putting a book together, primarily it is going to be an illuminated gospel similar to the Lindisfarne Gospel. So, I have done a lot of research into this and have the printed texts and illuminations, just need to get the rest of the supplies. Here is what I have marked.

I would also recommend this Youtube channel. Guy out of Ontario that does hand bound books.

I called the Leather Guy in Minnesota. For what it's worth, they said Goat Skin is typically used and it's on sale today. Their phone number is 507-932-3795.
Their website is

I've used them in the past for small quantities of leather. I would buy 12" x12" pieces of Veg Tanned 8-10 oz. which would make one Slim Jim Holster.

Please post a photo of the completed book when you're done with it, John. Same for you, Mo. This is fascinating.

I will definitely post a photo. It is number 6 in the queue of projects. But am hoping this winter to get caught up.

Siegel leather specializes in book binding leather.

All America lies at the end of the wilderness road, and our past is not a dead past, but still lives in us. Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside. We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers. What they dreamed, we live, and what they lived, we dream. -- T.K. Whipple
