box covering books

[hickok55]

i'm looking for a good book on covering boxes in leather 

[stelmackr]

You might find some ideas with this google search string:  How do you make a book slip case covered with leather?

...or... more specifically, this search string: How to cover boxes with leather?

I've made several slip cases covered in leather.  I used bookbinding card board and leather with archival white glue.  The trick was cutting, skiving and mitering the joints.

Check with Talas for materials: https://www.talasonline.com/archival-storage/boxes

 

Hope this helps.
