kangaroo skin
The skin of the herbivorous marsupials (family
Macropodidae) of Australia, New Guinea, etc.,
which when properly tanned, makes a supple and
durable bookbinding leather. Today, it is
generally chrome tanned with a glazed finish, thus
making it unsuitable for use as a bookbinding
leather. It is said to be stronger, weight for
weight, than any other leather. (325 )
