features:
Protectively wrapped with teak colored stoned oil leather that tells a tale of the places it is has been ~ It retains small scratches and scuffs, though can be buffed to soften the appearance of the marks with a soft cloth if you prefer. Overtime the leather will naturally become richer and darker in color, retaining a distressed timeworn aesthetic
The inside begins and ends with pages of fine Italian paper ~ featuring antique illustrations of wooden ships
280+ pages of 100% recycled blue text weight paper by the environmentally friendly French Paper Co. A wonderfully smooth surface for writing or sketching your stories
Four of the signatures are wrapped in handmade paper lending it a raw, handtorn texture. Paper was hand-pulled in small batches by Bison Bookbinding and Letterpress: http://www.etsy.com/shop/bisonbooks
Pages will lay flat for easy writing/markmaking
The textblock is bound directly to the leather with natural linen thread
Fastens securely with wrap-around leather cords that tuck neatly through the loop on front cover
