It was such a beautiful old prayer-book. The binding was of a thick red leather, and its pages had been mellowed by the touch of time. Two great siver clasps formed the fastening...
These two books were discovered together, so it is likely she used this wonderful Holy Bible that has a Book of Common Prayer bound in as the inspiration to her story!
Amazing!
********************
The Silver clasps work perfectly!! And are very ornate and detailed with engravings to the clasps. The binding is a full leather binding with gold tooling to the covers and spine. The clasps work perfectly!
