No, the Merlot cover is not in suede, but a very solid leather with a pleasant texture. The colour is dappled, so it is not a solid red but has shades of darker burgundy incorporated. I think you would have to use something quite sharp to scratch it. The Amazon logo is not a darker colour, but it is deeply embossed, so it looks a little darker than the overall finish. It smells slightly of leather. I have a feeling that the Black is similar and the Walnut is something else entirely.
The reason I didn't pick Walnut is because I am a bit of a neat-freak when it comes to books - I felt that it showing the wear might be distracting for me. But I could imagine it lying set aside on a rugged oak table somewhere in California, looking very beautiful, or pulled out of a rucksack in Yosemite. It somehow looks very American to me, in a very good way.
