Blank Books/Journals

As of Dec. 1, 2004, these items will no longer be offered for sale.

Group coptic:

This blank journal binding style is based on Ethiopian bookbinding methods dating back possibly as early as the fourth century. The Ethiopian binding is a sewn board type wherein the boards are sewn to the text almost as if they were pages by means of chain stitch sewing.

The books are made from quarter sawn White Oak and acid-free paper and sewn together with either linen or cotton thread.
