Non-standard Soldbuch covers?

[landsknechte]

I'm trying to see what sort of materials, other than the standard bark-textured paper, were used for Heer Soldbuch covers. If someone has got some examples, I'd ideally like to see how they're constructed (i.e. the printing on the back cover, and whether or not they have the same "pocket" flaps on the back.)

I'm trying to recreate some books for my reenacting group, but a reasonable facsimilie of the normal cover material is proving to be nearly impossible to come by.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Look up a paper called "Kobok" paper. This has the bark texture you are looking for.

You are my hero.

Maybe I'll see you at Camp Bob in a couple of weeks! I'm with IR 421, a second impression unit of the US 3rd ID in the RPS. When we come out to CHG events, we fall in with the 352nd.
