bookbinding - warm white leather sketchbook

I really like the softness of this type of sketchbook. The leather is supple and I've backed it with a gauzy linen for just a little more support. It's a bigger size at 9" x 11½"" (23cm x 29cm). This longstitched book has 160 pages (both sides) and the paper is Strathmore recycled drawing paper in a soft white.
