Topo map paper is cut from real topo maps so they will vary. They may also have slight signs of use. Red will be mostly reddish brown, green will be mostly green, mixed will have a mix of the two, or purple or urban areas or large bodies of water - If you have specific preferences regarding these endpapers convo me and where I can accommodate you I will.
A note about PVA glue:
************************
PVA glue is sensitive to temperature. If it is stored below freezing it will loose its adhesion. The texture of the glue should resemble Elmer's glue. If it has thickened to a paste like consistency or become clumpy or sandy it may have been exposed to low temperatures for too long. If you have concerns about freezing temperatures please contact me via convo.

Great quality Perfect gift Love it Clear instructions Fast shipping Looks great As described
Fantastic instructions and really high quality materials — this made my first hardbound project simple and a lot of fun, will definitely order from here again!
everyone loves their gifts and I got to benefit a little too! lol
Love this! I was looking for something a little more unique and bought it as a gift for an avid reader. She loves the kit and is super excited to learn how to book bind. Such a great idea!
As a first timer, this kit is great! The provided materials are of great quality, and the included instructions was easy to follow. I did add a button and twine so I can keep the notebook closed. This was very fun and helpful as I'm just getting into bookbinding.
