Insect Adventure Journals

Maybe you know an intrepid kid who likes bugs. Maybe you enjoy an urban or sylvan ramble to catalog your local insect life. This portable chunk of a journal can work as a field notebook, desk journal, or a diary of the 6-legged fauna of your world- and you can enjoy your fountain pens, too!

*Edition of three books*

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

5 ½ x 4 ½ inches

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

200 lined pages of fountain pen friendly 24lb American made 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.
