Handmade OOAK Journal Guestbook with button & cord tie

This is a OOAK Handmade Journal and there is only one like it on the planet!

The covers are cut from plywood The cover panel is padded for softness and has a large handmade button and plaited cord for keeping the book closed and private.  Spine cords are crossed at the back for added strength (as show in the illustration below).

The unique method of stitching that I use to bind  my journals evolved from the coptic stitch
and involves stitching on cords leaving an open spine. This allows each book to open comfortably flat.  This is a wonderful feature when writing, gluing or sketching and also makes the spine stronger.

TECHNICAL DETAILS This book has 192 pages. 

Cover Size: (22cm X 14.5cm) ( 8 3/4" x 5 3/4" approx.)
This OOAK blank page journal is hand crafted by Australian Book Artist Jean Hall

COUNTING PAGES: When I list the number of pages in a book, I am referring to one side of each leaf. For example, in a book with numbered pages, Page 17 would be on one side of the leaf or piece of paper, Page 18 on the other side. Therefore, a book with 224 pages would have 112 leaves.
