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 This hardback journal in Ruby Roses and Gold is the perfect notebook to carry in your bag or keep in your home as a guestbook or daily journal.
