Examples

The traveller's blue linen prayer book should look something like this: 
This prayer book is designed with durability in mind above anything else.  An extra-thick layer of embroidered blue linen forms a rigid cover, the front and back held together with a solid clasp.  Between them, on thick weathered paper pages, heavy handwritten letters are written in waterproof ink.

The neatly-kept purple snakeskin prayer book should look something like this: 
This prayer book is designed for the more organised and attentive priest.  Its gilt-edged paper pages have index tabs on them written in the same printed style as the prayers inside.  It is covered in carefully-stitched plain purple snakeskin, cut to expose the tabs along the pages.

The ornate orange skin prayer book should look something like this:
This prayer book is bound with blackened orange skin and covered with extremely ornate pictures and scenes holy to Seven-Handed Sek.  Inside, the charred parchment pages are surrounded by lush
illuminations drawn in a careful hand around the engraved text.
