What Are Vellum Book Overlays?

Vellum book overlays are printed on high-quality translucent vellum paper and are carefully designed to match selected pages within a book. They can feature character artwork, decorative borders, floral designs, fantasy scenes, quotes, maps, or custom illustrations.

These overlays are particularly popular with collectors of fantasy books, romantasy novels, young adult fiction, and special edition books. They add an extra layer of beauty and personalisation without permanently altering the book.
