Finally finished book cover for twenty-thousand leagues under the sea. All handmade Copper spine was etched with acid to reveal the letters, lettering on front was wood burned, inside is a stripped paper back version of the book wrapped in leather paper then glued on to the spine, and the back has a heat transfer of the summary of the book.

I wish all my books had covers like this!
