This all leather, hand made book cover fits the pocket (trucker) sized recovery text of Alcoholics Anonymously usually referred to as the "Big Book". It features a zipper closure. All my book covers are made of the finest quality tooling leather outside, hand carved by me. The interior is of calf skin construction and sewn with waxed nylon thread. The cover is laced together using genuine calf-skin lace, a strand of which is added to create two matching bookmarks. This item is available immediately. I do make custom orders and can reproduce any of the designs you see in my store in any size, pocket, soft-back, hard-back or large print for single Big Book Covers. Dual covers are also available for pocket, standard and large print editions. Contact me to custom design a cover to your specification. Interior pocket panels can be replaced with tooled leather for an extension of the outside design or the addition of a name and date, prayer or your favorite short excerpt from the texts. Book not included.

Welcome to RAllanK Leather!
My name is Allan and I have been hand carving and tooling leather since around the age of 12. Nevermind how long ago that was!
My initial work was in wallets, belts, and purses. But my love is in tooling larger items with more room for design and expression. I currently specialize in book covers and covers for consumer electronic devices.
Have a family bible that you would like to protect and decorate with a carved leather cover with your favorite passage inscribed? How about a personalized cover for your favorite novel or photo album. Are you in recovery or know someone who is? I have many ready-made designs for covers for the literature from Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12 step programs for that special sponsor or loved one in recovery.
I also tool portraits of pets. Have a furry friend that you would like remembered in leather? How about a leather clock or wall hanging with your favorite picture of your pet?
Though my love and specialty is in the carving, tooling and dying of leather, I do welcome all inquiries for your leather project. I do all my own work including tooling and dying of the leather and the stitching, lacing and any other assembly required to complete the final product.
I look forward to hearing your ideas for that carved leather project you have in mind.

For Leather Cover For Hard Cover Alcoholics Anonymous Big BookJoe Longaphie
For Leather Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book Cover With Serenity PrayerI couldn't be happier with the finished cover that I ordered. It's better than I imagined . Pictures online don't do it justice. It was a quick process Allan was awesome to deal with. Likes to share his ideas and hear yours . It was fast and worth every cent, if not quite a bit more .

For Leather carved book cover ProjectMy experience working with RAllan Leathercraft was amazing! Allen was very professional! Through out the project, we communicated back and forth, I really appreciated his suggestions, honesty and expertise. Allan was very good to work with and responded quickly to my daily emails and questions regarding the project. It was a pleasure working with Allen, I would have to say that I give him 5 stars in timeliness, communication, professionalism, expertise, shipping and delivery and value. Should I ever have a reason to do a leather project again, I will definitely use RAllen K, and would highly recommend his work to anyone looking someone honest, talented and professional with leather craft. I was very pleased with work!
