The tome’s textured, bronzy cover is made of a synthetic leather
material called Alpha that’s produced by Ecological Fibers. Tests were done with the textured lines oriented vertically and horizontally. Alpha is, according to ecofibers.com, popular for use with bibles and diaries, as well as, interestingly, eyeglass cases.
