The store that stock these notebooks (www.simple-shape.com) is run by a friend of mine and all of the the stuff on it is curated by her and is all gorgeous. I'd buy it all if I could (and if cermic milk jugs were my jam).
These notebooks are made by one of Manchester's oldest book binders using paper from GF Smith, one of the few paper makers left in Britain. The pages are sewn down the spine with a lovely bright thread making these notebooks useful, strong and good looking!
