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. 5½" x 4¼" and 1½" 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 copper brown. The hearty binding is handstitched with dark brown beeswaxed Irish linen thread, visible on the spine. A coordinating leather strap wraps around the journal and tucks underneath itself in front, keeping the book securely closed.

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!

Customize this journal with...
+ $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.
