Description

This book is ideal for the writer, as a journal, a commonplace book*, a writer's 'studio'**, or for any other purpose that needs a writing surface that lies flat when opened.

The cover is a Trade Aid paper, with red inside covers. There are 56 leaves (112 pages) of plain white paper, sewn in 7 sections.

The Coptic binding is sewn with black linen thread.

The book measures approximately 155 x 215mm.

I believe that if words and ideas are worth thinking, they are deserving of a beautiful place in which to be written. However, I also know how intimidating a blank book can be, so I urge you to just start writing in your book, without worrying about your handwriting, or your grammar or your spelling - it's the ideas that matter, the ideas that are important to express.

* A commonplace book was originally a place to make a collection of such sayings or proverbial wisdom, but then extended to themed collections of other kinds.

** I found the idea of a writing studio in a book by Sandford Lyne, 'Writing Poetry from the Inside Out'. He points out that an artist needs a workplace, a studio with good light and inspiring surroundings. Similarly, a writer needs a studio in which to work, but the writer's studio is far more portable! You could staple together a bunch of printer waste and write on the clean side - but your writing deserves better - a beautiful place in which to work. Keep the waste paper for shopping lists!
