Elegant leather blank book, journal, with lined parchment-colored pages, order and original ceramic button closure, with leather strap.

This book is carefully crafted in the traditional way, with pages sewn in place, snugly and securely, with strong waxed linen thread. The paper is parchment-colored Southworth archival resume paper.

The button is a hand-made, hand-fired ceramic button, with a coffee-bean texture, made by my wife, the ceramic order artist Fay Jones Day ( https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/shop/fayjonesdaytile ).

★ ★ ★ PERSONALIZATION ★ ★ ★
If you would like a text and/or image for the front page, please tell me in the Note to Seller, when you make the purchase. We can then discuss what you would like the front page to be. There will be no extra charge for a custom front page.

Like most leather which has not been processed to death, the leather of this book has some imperfections -- minor scuff-marks, mainly.

This is a *very* durable book, made by a craftsman with decades of experience.

Because of natural variations in leather, the book you receive will look somewhat different from the book in the pictures.
