Hardcover Journal, Cloth and Vintage Paper, Small/Cafe'

I've been making a lot of books with a winter blue cloth lately, but I used textured vintage paper (from the endpages of an old library book) to complete this cover. With fountain pen friendly paper, thick boards, and a cloth spine, this book is a lovely combination of flexible and durable and will be a dependable companion for writing (or drawing!) in your favorite coffeeshop -- whether you brought a pencil box or your currently inked fountain pen.

Size: : 5.5 X 4.5 inches

Binding: Casebound with archival materials; white endpapers; matching endbands

Cover: Cloth and vintage paper over boards

Paper: 24lb Classic Crest "Solar White"; 192 blank pages.

About this Binding:

When we think of a "hardcover" book, we usually mean a casebound tome. After the textblock is sewn, glued, and reinforced, it is cased-in to the cover. What results is a durable book that will last for a few lifetimes. Casebound books are generally a sort of compromise between the wide-opening longstitch binding and the need for some rigidity and/or the desire for a more "traditional" book. I carefully measure and construct my own casebound books to open more easily than usual, without sacrificing security or structural integrity.
