Jeweled book bindings were well-known in the middle Ages, covering main liturgical and devotional works for Popes and Kings.

Few still exist - for example, notice major libraries - the John Rylands Library in Manchester, the Morgan Library in New York, British Library in London and the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris.
About 1905 the English binders Sangorski & Sutcliffe reinvented Jeweled Bindings, as part of the revitalization of English ornamented bookbindings. These were not great uncut gems as in mediaeval times however semi-precious stones en cabuchon set into wonderfully intended bindings with multi colored leather inlays and detailed gilt tooling. The craftsmanship of these bindings was unsurpassable; simply their competitors Riviere produced work of the same quality. The most well-known of these bindings "The Great Omar" on a great copy of the Rubaiyat had over 1,000 jewels; it went downward with the Titanic. The largest collection of these masterpieces was the Phoebe Boyle one; over 100 jeweled bindings purchased in 1923. Jeweled bindings seldom appear at auction; literature on them is amazingly scant given their excellent quality. A new limited version book by Stephen Ratcliffe "Hidden Treasures" at present documents these masterpieces.
The Tunnel books (also called peepshow books) contain a set of pages bound with two folded concertina strips on all side and viewed through a hole in the cover. Openings in each page let the onlooker to make out through the complete book to the back, and images on each page work together to create a dimensional sight inside the book. This book type dates from the mid-eighteenth century and was enthused by theatrical stage sets.

In United States, the tunnel books were useful for such attractions as like World Fairs and the New York Botanical Gardens.
Book burning is the practice of destroying by way of fire, often ceremoniously, one or more copies of a book or added written material. In modern days, other forms of media, like video tapes, phonograph records, and CDs have also been ceremoniously burned, torched, or shredded. The practice, generally carried out in public, is normally motivated by moral, religious, or political objections to the material. Few particular cases of book burning are lengthy and traumatically remembered - for the reason that the books destroyed were irreplaceable and their loss constituted a severe harm to cultural heritage, and/or as this instance of book burning has become emblematic of a harsh and oppressive regime. Such were the damage of the Library of Alexandria, the burning of books and burying of scholars in China's Qin Dynasty, the destruction of Mayan codices by Spanish Conquistadors and priests, and in more latest times, Nazi book burnings.
