The book titles are embossed in gold leaf. The outside of the slip case is decorated with a hand made coarse grain paper, I personally dyed and finished too look like real, old leather bindings.

In the book collecting world, maintaining a modern first edition book in the original condition is the primary factor in the financial value of the book. It’s taken many attempts over the years to come with with this design for Harry Potter slip cases and books.
