Reproduced here is a 1907 binding that held two William Shakespeare volumes printed in 1619: The Whole Contention betweenee the two Famous Houses, Lancaster and Yorke and Pericles, Prince of Tyre. The Whole Contention is now considered to be a corrupt version of Parts 2 and 3 of Henry VI, one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated works.
- Smyth Sewn Binding -
We take the durability of our products seriously and bind all our books using the sturdy yet incredibly flexible Smyth sewn technique. In the classic art of bookmaking, the sewing together of signatures (paper folded into groups of eight, sixteen or thirty-two pages) is seen as the heart of a well-made book, and we have followed this tradition in creating Paperblanks books.
- Elastic Closure -
Elastic band closures expand to fit your needs as you fill your journal over time.
- Memento Pouches -
Our accordion-style horizontal memento pouch stores your loose papers, ticket stubs and business cards without adding extra bulk to your book.
- Ribbon Markers -
All Paperblanks journals feature at least one satin ribbon marker in a colour specifically selected to complement the cover design.
- Endpapers -
We are proud to give credit to the talented individuals and artistic movements that have inspired our designs. The back endpaper of every book contains credit and copyright information, as well as a fascinating historical background for the original artwork.
- Paper Quality -
Inside every Paperblanks journal is our authentic laid paper in an eye-pleasing cream colour. The opacity of our journal pages ranges from 85 gsm to 120 gsm, depending on the format, and specific paper weight information can be found on the individual product pages.
