e.e. cummings quote . handbound leather journal . distressed copper brown (320 pgs.)

Description

To be nobody but yourself in a world
which is doing its best night and day
to make you everybody else,
means to fight the hardest battle
which any human being can fight
and never stop fighting.

— e.e. cummings


The first page of the journal features the above quote of E.E. Cummmings, American poet, painter, essayist, author, and playwright along with his portrait.

The book measures approx. 5.5" x 4.25" and 1.5" thick. It boasts 320-pages (both sides) of good quality white unlined 28 lb./105 gsm writing paper with handtorn edges - it's acid free, archival, and 3rd party certified to the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council (high quality paper with a conscience!). The journal opens flat so you can write all the way into the margins.

The leather is a beautiful distressed dark brown with warm copper highlights, giving it an aged antique appearance. The hearty binding is handstitched with dark brown beeswaxed Irish linen thread, visible on the spine. The raw-edged tab wraps around the front of the journal, kept securely closed with an antiqued metal stud.

Each book comes with a little "card of interest" containing information about your book such as the type of leather, the history of the binding, and the stitch. Makes a lovely addition as a gift!

+ $5 Engraving up to 3 initials by freehand leather burning (not available for suede journals). Just let me know in notes to seller or convo and I'll send an invoice for the $5 via paypal.
