gold embossing Explanation: My dictionary says 'fer' is a 'blocking stamp' - with a blocking stamp you can create an embossed cover. "en vermeil" is the same as saying "doré" -in my Littré it says this: 'Espèce dorure en or moulu qui se fait par l'application de l'or sur de l'argent' - okay it says silver but it could loosely be interpreted as applying to leather covers.
