You may have used up the very last page of your favourite Susan Green Books leather sketchbook, but help is at hand! Send me your sketchbook, and I will - whilst respecting your privacy - carefully disbind it and sew its pages together to make a bookblock. I'll make a sturdy paper folder (pictured) for the bookblock so you can safely store it knowing that your precious work will never fall out of order or get lost. You can easily access your work as the pages will turn just as before. I'll then put new pages into your leather sketchbook cover and send both sketchbooks back to you by secure postal service. Your cover will be refilled using 130gsm paper, but if you'd like something different, please contact me with your requirements. PLEASE NOTE This refill service is only for leather sketchbooks made by me, like the ones pictured in this listing. They are known as Longstitch with Linkstitch limp leather bindings and you can confirm you have this type by looking at the Colophon on the last page of your sketchbook. I will endeavour to use the same colour thread and endpapers as your original sketchbook, but these may be substituted for another, equally beautiful colour, if it is unavailable. If it's very important to you that you have the same colours, please contact me before ordering. The paper folder for your old bookblock may vary in colour and texture from the one pictured; if you have a particular colour in mind, please contact me susangreenbooks Sat, 03 Dec 2011 14:04:40 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2717098 http://folksy.com/items/2717098 Complete Refill Service for Large Leather Sketchbooks Bonjour mes amis!

You may have used up the very last page of your favourite Susan Green Books leather sketchbook, but help is at hand! Remove the pages from your sketchbook and send the leather cover back to me. I'll refill it with new pages and send it back to you, good as new! Your cover will be refilled using 130gsm paper, but if you'd like something different, please contact me with your requirements. PLEASE NOTE This refill service is only for leather sketchbooks made by me, like the ones pictured in this listing. They are known as Longstitch with Linkstitch limp leather bindings and you can confirm you have this type by looking at the Colophon on the last page of your sketchbook. I will endeavour to use the same colour thread and endpapers as your original sketchbook, but these may be substituted for another, equally beautiful colour, if it is unavailable. If it's very important to you that you have the same colours, please contact me before ordering. A full refill service is also available, where I disbind the sketchbook and make a folder for it. For details please look in my shop. Please allow approx. 2 weeks for me to rebind your sketchbook, plus time for shipping. NEED TO TALK? If you have any queries, please don't hesitate to send me a convo or email susan(at)susangreenbooks.co.uk susangreenbooks Sun, 23 Oct 2011 09:49:42 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2459121 http://folksy.com/items/2459121 Refill Service for Large Leather Sketchbooks
