I love old books because they are so clearly a product of nature in texture (especially apparent in the ragged/deckled edges edges of certain books).https://twitter.com/schlagetown/status/1245101430878371845 …

Some kind of natural texturing on a cover inspired by washi paper (the decorative rolls at https://awagami.com/collections/fine-art-papers … are stunning) would be a good start. Or marbled paper if you want to get wild? (https://www.mulberrypaperandmore.com/c-211-marbled-paper.aspx …)

Another way to get out of the ubiquity of plastic: contrasting different types of materials together, like antique metal book corners with wood. Inject some art deco influence in there if you don't want to just imitate the natural lookpic.twitter.com/SJrXtRQ4XH
