Hard Rock Journals

The chunky shape of these journals are not unlike stones and the images of round rocks on the covers seem especially fitting. With a huge 256 page count and narrower lines, these journals could last you long enough for water to erode stone.

Read on for more details about these books and about the binding method I used. 

5 ¼ x 4 ⅛ inches

Bradel bound, with cloth and handmade paper over boards with grey parchment endpapers

256 narrow lined fountain pen friendly 64 gsm smooth Japanese paper

Bradel bound books are similar to casebound in that the cover and textblock are created separately and then joined together with adhesive. The German Bradel binding begins with joining the spine stiffener or board with the cover boards before cloth and/or paper is applied. This makes it possible to more accurately measure the fore-edge of the book and makes a lovely French groove more pronounced in the book's hinge. I measure my Bradel bound books to open especially easily, white remaining extremely durable and then cover them with quality materials for a long life in your bag, on your desk, or stored away on a shelf.
