Description

This listing is for one of these ( almost A6) notebooks which have been created using traditional bookbinding methods. I have left the spine exposed, as I think it a shame to hide this particularly attractive feature. I have also bound, into each book, 5 handmade recycled paper envelopes, perfect for storing business cards. These books are covered with leather (scavenged from the seconds pile at my local leather wholesalers) dyed in a vat of natural Indigo dye. Please note that the leather is recycled and therefore will have a few marks and flaws. Each book contains 115 pages: 10 signatures, or 60 folios (folded pages), of assorted recycled or scavenged papers. The books are secured with elastic, attached to the book cover with a vintage laundry button. Measurements approx: height 14.5 cm (5 3/4 "), width 10.3 cm (4") and depth 2.5 cm ( 1") Last book available: - Mid Blue with a white spine and blue stitching Your book will be sent via First Class Recorded Delivery. International shipping is via standard airmail
