There is a reason these lines are dancing straight across the cover (we knew you were wondering). If you had the chance to hang out on a cotton premium stock, you can't say you wouldn't jump..err, dance at the chance, too...but maybe that's just us. Every line was blind impressed by a copper plate applied with heat, made for precision and depth (no cold polymer plate 'kissing' the stock here); these lines knew what they wanted and went for it. Luckily, you can reap the benefits of their efforts, and protect this well crafted cover with the 100% cotton hand stamped pouch it comes with. This 118# cover protects 24 pages of FSC certified (made with windpower!) thick, 70# vellum stock which picks up graphite sketches like a charm. Sew bound with heavy duty Swiss-red thread, a carpenter's pencil is thrown in to match, hot stamped with the Lettersketch logo in white. Try to tell these lines not to be the life of this sketchbook party.
