With so many different varieties of #leather available, choosing what to use on collections can be difficult! Leather is a very traditional material for many types of bindings, though the process to create it has changed significantly over the past couple of centuries. We currently use vegetable tanned leather created with hydrolysable tannins when doing full leather bindings, rebacks, or other repairs.
