Alum-Tawed Goatskins

Alum tawing is considered to produce the most permanent curable skins used for rare books.  the resulting skin is not acidic as is the case with most other processes for preparing leather.  Skins are white or ivory-colored, but can be surface dyed.  These goatskins are strong, flexible and beautiful to work with.  Scraps are often used as supports for historical sewing supports or ties for limp paper or vellum
