Faux Books - - from The Original Book Works. These authentic resin reproductions of real leather books represent an affordable alternative to antiquarian books. The most striking quality of faux books is that they look so convincing. Faux books, also called fake books and dummy books, can sit alongside the genuine article completely undetected. Original Book Works Faux Books are indistinguishable from those attractive, old preserved books that are admired by many.
At Original Book Works in England, a team, of highly skilled workers color, gild, and wax each individual spine by hand. These imitation book panels are authentic reproductions taken from genuine antique leather books that are purchased at auction, borrowed from libraries, or found in private collections.
