They are handbound using waxed linen thread in a Coptic stitch. The cover is wrapped in one of our handmade artisan papers and the endpapers are a complimentary cardstock.
The body of these journals are made of 160 pages / 80 sheets of your choice of lined, .5cm dot grid, or blank white, acid-free sketchbook paper. If you'd like a different paper, like watercolor paper, please contact us before ordering.
Optional elastic straps are either in black or white, depending on the cover paper chosen. Bookplates are printed blank unless a name is added to the note section of the order. They are also printed directly onto the endpaper. Envelopes can also be added, made from a complimentary cardstock and stitched directly into the binding.
This binding method allows the books to open and lay perfectly flat for ease of use.

Paper Details
Paper Details
Artisan Papers: We use a variety of different papers in our work. Many of them are handmade in different regions of the world. Each sheet of paper is made like a piece of art, and carries with it generations of papermaking knowledge. Find out more about our artisan papers here.
Cardstock: Our cardstocks are all light-weight and acid-free. We use a variety of textures, but mostly smooth for use in our journals.
Journal Pages: Our default paper for journals is Canson Universal Sketch paper. It's best for dry media like pencil, pens, and charcoal. It's natural white, acid-free, has excellent erasability and is smudge resistant. Other specialty papers are sometimes used, and are detailed in the item description.
Customer Reviews
I ordered a custom watercolour sketchbook and treasure it! Lindsay was clear and helpful throughout the order process and helped me choose the perfect paper for my needs. The finished book is beautifully assembled and a joy to use! I highly recommend Lindsay's books to anyone who wants to love what they're using.
