Journal / Notebook – lined pages

Hand-finished by Colin

This book of lined paper has a cover that has been hand-finished by Colin using traditional bookbinding skills.  The inside pages have been selected to suit the style of the book and are suitable for writing with most media.

Specification

• Size:  206 x 148 mm approx.   240 pages (120 leaves) stitched to allow book to open flat

This book contains paper of a certain type and is fit for that purpose, but the suitability of this paper across all the many different types of media (ink, paint, pastels, crayons etc) cannot be guaranteed. If in doubt test a small area first.

Note: The Frogmore Mill is the world’s oldest mechanised paper mill and is in Hertfordshire, England. Paper has been made here from 1774 and the current machine is over 100 years old.
