The covers of the Lindau Gospels were designed to inspire awe in early Christian onlookers. The book was carried in processions and displayed on altars. Its component parts originate from different times and places; the back cover is recorded as being created near Salzburg between 750 and 800 AD. Originally tooled in gilt, silver and enamel and elaborately decorated with jewels, it is a powerful manifestation of art as a vehicle for belief. Depicted on our journals is the back cover design of this bookmaking masterwork.

The ingenuity and grace of the ancient craft of lacquerware is celebrated on our journal cover portraying a masterful example of a 19th century Japanese lacquer box made during the Edo or the Meiji period. Selected from a private collection in Kyoto, this box is lacquered in the Maki-e tradition, in which sap from the lacquer tree is sprinkled with metallic powder, such as gold, silver or copper, to create luxurious designs. Over the centuries, craftspeople learned to use this sap, which hardens to a brilliant, hard gloss coating, as a finish to decorate and protect favoured wood and paper objects. These fine lacquered surfaces are evidence of the uniquely human ability to create beauty from unlikely sources. Slim journals from paperblanks are inspired by the gorgeous colors and textures of the original boxes. A clever combination of printing and embossing gives these journals a great texture and depth of color. The Japanese Lacquer Box Journals all include a memento pouch and a classic ribbon marker to store the treasures of a life well-lived.

Jean Grolier (1479-1565) was among history's most discerning collectors of beautiful books, and the first to develop a unique ornamental style of designs that became one of the most emulated worldwide. Although French, he preferred that his bindings follow the design principles of his Italian friend Aldus Manutius, the greatest printer of the Renaissance. The majority of the brilliant works were executed in Paris by two remarkable binding houses. Grolier's collection of books was split between books he commissioned for himself and books he acquired or was given. At the time of his death, he possessed one of the greatest and most extensive private libraries in the world. Each of his books was of extraordinary quality, in a style described as both "quiet and simple, yet rich and flowing." This Grolier Ornamentali series is based on one of his last great commissions, a gold-tooled marbled brown leather creation with an interlaced curving design of single-line fillets and floral tools filling out the six-pointed star. These books are a joy to carry with you and will make even the messiest desk look good.

Commissioned by Jean Grolier (1479-1565), this rich looking and beautiful design is a staple of the Grolier Journal. At his death, Grolier had accumulated one of the greatest, most stunningly beautiful private libraries in the world. Each of his books, whether commissioned for himself or acquired throughout his lifetime, was of extraordinary quality, in a style described as both "quiet and simple, yet rich and flowing." This journal is based on one of his last great commissions, a gold-tooled marbled brown leather creation with an interlaced curving design of single-line fillets and floral tools filling out the six-pointed star. This rich and intricate Grolier Journal has 144 pages and really feels and looks expensive. An extraordinary gift! Paperblanks journals are exceptionally Eco friendly journals. This English publisher melds exquisite craftsmanship with Eco friendly ethics. Certified sustainable forest pulp provides the acid-free paper for these journals, and their binder boards are made from 100% recycled paper. A self-imposed "carbon tax" proportional to the GHG releases rounds out a list of eco merits this company has achieved. A spacious memento pouch will keep your loose papers organized and a ribbon marker takes you right back to where you left off. The Grolier lined writing journal has a very nice metal clasp for a closer.
