In Morocco, the art of leather bookbinding is referred to as at-Tasfīr & at-Tajlīd and it means the 'art of binding sections of paper and covering it with decorated leather'. Moroccan leather bookbinding involves binding the text block following spesific methods and designing leather covers. The cover can contain geometric as well as floral ornaments and Moroccan books are known for their leather flaps which protect the front spine and act as page marks.
