Handmade Exposed Spine Journal - Old Library Card No.2

The cover is a vintage library checkout card with date due stamps from the 40s and 50s, printed on sage green cotton. The end papers are a peacock marble in deep teal and cream, the kind you'd find lining the inside cover of a very old, very loved book. The spine is hand-sewn with a French link pattern, finished with metal and pink, red, and ochre glass beads.

96 pages of smooth white writing paper, left blank so you can write, sketch, or document the world wherever you end up. Small enough to carry and tough enough to travel. 

No two books in the bindery are exactly alike, and once a book is gone it won't be made again. The book you see in the picture is the book you'll receive.

This Book Is Great For: Dry media like pen, pencil, charcoal, and fountain pens. This paper isn't a fan of getting wet and a splash will make the pages warp. If they get soaked, the paper itself will start to break down. The binding will hold up fine, but the pages won't stand a chance.
