A Travel Present

Here's what I received from my family right before my trip from Romania back to Portugal.
Very appropriate :) Thank you guys!

   

Look what I found...

I found this poor thing last week at the fair. I don't quite understand, was this ever a book cover? Or just prepared to become one? There are no signs of use, no title, no traces of glue on the back. The front however looks like a hundred years old. I wonder what's its story. Perhaps it's just an old piece of leather that escaped slicing and came out so I can find it and give it a new life.

 

Old Leather Books

Finished these two the other day... simple, so to let the beauty of the old leather do the rest.
