One more reason for preferring morocco to other leathers is that you can always dispense with lettering-pieces or patches in gilding the titles on the back. Hence the necessity of stamping the titles upon darker pieces of leather, which are fastened to the backs.
These lettering-pieces become loose in over-heated libraries, and tend continually to peel off, entailing the expense of repairing or re-lettering. Every morocco bound book can be lettered directly upon the leather. Bock is made of the skin of the Persian sheep, and is called Persian in London. A skin of Persian leather costs about one-third the price of genuine morocco, or goat.
