The first book is deep red in color, with parchment pages; the second is pale blue, with thick vellum pages; the third is black, and has been punctured several times by something about the size of a dagger. If the books are laid edge to edge and the strap is buckled just so, the books can be slung under clothes and concealed quite easily.- A belt with a series of snap-type clasps on the inside surface. Unclasping these allows one to unfold the belt (which looks perfectly normal from the outside) to reveal several strips of treated parchment, each about 2 or 3' long. Covered in writing on both sides, these strips allow the wearer to transport a considerable amount of information without revealing that she is doing so.- A smallish book, about 7" high x 5" wide x 2" thick, with cured leather covers and soft leather pages (of which there are only a few, less than 20). The text is burned into the leather of the pages -- on one side only -- and the binding is of waxed linen cords. This book is exceptionally well-suited to travel, and resists weather damage and extreme temperatures rather well.</blockquote>
