Batik stripe coptic double bound sketch book journal . . . dos-a-dos

Description

This special double bound blank book is perfect for impromptu sketching, jotting down your daily inspirations or even to use as the foundation for a custom photo album or scrapbook.

The unique dos-a-dos style binding makes it easy to create completely different sections for your content, if you desire. The book’s small size also makes it easy to carry along wherever you go.

The three book covers show off the beautiful hand-dyed Lokta paper, which is made in Nepal in a process similar to Japanese rice paper. This particular Lokta has the extra feature of being batik dyed in a stripe pattern of cool blues, aquas and greens, interspersed with the natural color of the paper. I’ve angled the stripe patterns, which I think creates a nice movement of color between the inner and outer covers across the book.

The covers are acid-free binder’s board and the Lokta paper is adhered to it with acid-free binders PVA glue.
The entire book measures 4 ¼” square and is 1” thick when closed. (Coptic binding lays completely flat when open, making it easy to draw or write.)

Both sections are coptic bound using black waxed linen thread. The book has 160 pages total, or 80 pages per section; the paper stock is acid-free, smooth eggshell and text weight.
