Leerwerker Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Some months ago I was asked to rescue two prayerbooks by a very dear old nun, Sr Rosalind. I decided to try to copy the images on the front covers on to the leather by treating them as pencil drawings and doing them in burning. I never took photos of the finished covers - they were also glued on like the Bible cover I showed so that they would keep the books together. The old paperback covers had disintegrated.
