These blank sketchbooks/journals are bound in the old Coptic way, with an exposed spine and thread detail. These are made with more pages than our simple signatures, so you can fill them up with sketches or long journal entries. They are still thin enough to fit in a bag or backpack with ease, and the teeny ones can brighten up your shirt pocket.
These guys have pockets in both the front and back, for those bits of paper you pick up along the way each day. Pockets are hand-sewn at the fore-edge in a variety of styles; some simple, some delicate and complex. These vary from sketchbook to sketchbook, so yours might be somewhat unique.
