Alchemist's tome, alt. view

Another view on the book that was found within the alchemist’s box. I believe the description for the box covers the essentials...

I do not, alas, know enough about book-binding to have made a book of this size from scratch. Rather, I acquired a novel (perhaps best left unnamed) which experienced a certain degree of popularity in the early 21st centure, and dressed it up rather severely, using, among other things, a 2nd hand leather skirt, acrylic paints, twine, cardboard, aluminium tape, coffee, fimo clay, a broken necklace, shoe shine, and blood sacrifice. (That is to say, I cut my finger while working on it, and figured that, hay, if the book wants blood I suppose it is no more than fair, considering what I’m putting it through.)
