Italian Pocket Notebook with Elastic, Lined, Blue

A classic lined pocket notebook, with a soft faux leather cover, grosgrain place-keeping ribbon, and horizontal elastic closure which cleverly negates the need for a separate pen loop. Traditionally section sewn, with individual sections of paper printed, folded and stitched together, the book block is then glued into its flexible cover using thicker end-papers. This durable binding allows the notebook to lie flat more easily and stand up to regular use. Handmade in Florence, Italy in a bindery founded in 1973. 130x95mm, 192 pages
