About this Product
Let's talk paper: this book features 192 pages of high quality, unbleached, 24lb 100% cotton paper. Whether you're using a pencil, a fountain pen, or a ballpoint from the dollar store, the wove finish provides just the write amount of feedback for a beautiful writing experience. I've tested this paper with a variety of writing instruments, and had to break out the permanent marker to see any bleed-through. Ghosting is also minimal.
Let's talk construction: My books are bound with a mix of modern and traditional binding methods. Everything, from the folding, to the sewing, to the pasting down and casing in, was done in my studio by my hands. If taken care of, this journal won't just last a lifetime - it will outlive you.
Gifting a fountain pen for a loved one's graduation? Why not buy them a journal they can actually use with the pen on. This also makes a great gift for any writer, artist, or lover of journals.

Two of Clubs Bindery
Meet the Maker
Hi! My name is Laura. I'm a reader, writer, and bookbinder. Basically, I'm obsessed with books and hope that love comes through in my work.
My bookbinding journey started in 2014, when I was trying to come up with a birthday gift for my father. I was 17, and my little brother was 7. He was at an age where he was constantly cracking absurd jokes that my father thought were hilarious. So the idea hit me: let's make him a joke book filled with my little brother's jokes.
We didn't have a lot of money, and custom printed books weren't as easily then available as they are now. But my mother was a scrapbooking instructor, so the one thing I had access to was mountains and mountains of paper.
I got online, found a tutorial for casebinding, and got to work. Next thing I new, not only had I made the perfect gift for my father, but I'd found a craft that would become a lifelong passion.
How it’s Made
This journal was casebound with 100% cotton paper. Everything from the bookcloth, to the board, to the very last piece of paper, was cut, sewn, bound, pasted down and cased in by my hands, in my studio, on my time. I blend modern techniques with traditional methods to achieve high quality, durable books that will outlive their owners.
All paper, adhesives, fabric, and other material used to bind this book is 100% acid free.
