Good work!

Not having used the scroll object, I cannot say for certain if this will 
work with it. You may want to try interior_texture. Since objects in POV 
have two sides (inside, outside), there is a provision for texturing 
both sides separately.

Try something like this:

object{ my_object
  texture{
   pigment{ my_text_pigment }
  }
  interior_texture{
   pigment{ no_text_pigment }
  }
}
