Description

Chunky notebook bound in burgundy leather with a lighter stripe on the back. The notebook measures 13.5 x 10 x 4cm and contains lovely 120g/m2 natural white acid-free cartridge paper. Inside are hand-marbled endpapers and the book is sewn with Ritza Italian saddlery thread, which is 100% woven polyester and will not rot over time. Each book I make is unique and is signed with its own individual number (this book is 2,213), and comes in a hand-made giftbox.

My books are made from reclaimed items that would often end up in landfill. This leather came from the side panel of Mr. Ray's reclining leather chair, the paler stripe on the back is where the chair has been used over time and reminded me of the paintings be American Abstract Artist, Mark Rothko. It is a really sturdy little book and is built to withstand much use - ideal for a book that is carried around to jot ideas and notes in.

What buyers say about Cath Ray Books

All 7 reviews

  • Excellent hand-made, leather-bound book. This will make a very special present for my husband who has used Cath Ray’s books in the past to take notes on his trees - he owns a horticultural business. The book is attractive, tactile and robust. Very happy to support a talented local maker and artist.

  • I love Cath’s Books. She tries to provide what you want, and her choices of leathers and textures and stitching are creative whilst also being sound. Really good value for what is a work of art.

  • I have two Cath Ray books, both beautiful, this recent one is no exception. They are things to be treasured. Cath is refilling my first one with new paper as I couldn’t bear to not be able to use it Once I’d filled it!
