Thank you for viewing. This is a rare giraffe-print book cover. I believe it's probably genuine leather, but I apologize if I'm mistaken. I've used it several times. The color of the spine has changed, but I think it will develop a better color the more it's used. To avoid any issues, please take a close look at the photos for any scratches, etc. I don't think I'll be using it anymore, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will cherish it. If you don't mind it being stored at home, please consider purchasing it.
