leatherbound
Old book style
Leatherbound describes a book with a cover made of leather, suggesting quality, durability, or traditional craftsmanship: a leatherbound edition of Shakespeare, leatherbound journals lined the study walls.
The term evokes libraries, heirlooms, and books meant to last generations rather than disposable paperbacks.
