Features & Benefits 

• Lay-flat heritage binding The 15th century Longstitch with Linkstitch binding features exposed stitching along the spine, which lets the pages lie open on a table - so it's really practical. You'll never have the hassle of having to weigh or hold down the pages with binder clips, etc.
• Versatile paper The cartridge paper is perfect for drawing in pencil, pen or other dry media, as the tooth and surface carries it all, and withstands an eraser. It's also great for painting and outperforms heavier papers. You could also happily use it as a journal for writing with fountain pen, ballpoint or biro.
• Archival & practical No glue is used in this accomplished binding style, instead the pages are carefully hand sewn through the sketchbook's leather cover. This makes the book flexible yet robust, and means it will never, ever fall apart.
• Authentic craftsmanship Hand-torn page edges and a colophon on the final page with details of binding, materials and maker speaks of the heritage skills and craftsmanship embodied in this book.
