This hand-sewn journal is covered with a copy of an old world map that I bought in Salt Lake City. The book is sewn with orange linen thread and the inside cover is an orange colored paper. The sewing style is called the Coptic Stitch which enables the book to open completely flat making it really easy to write inside. There are 112 blank pages OF STRATHMORE drawing paper ready for your travel diary. Smaller SIZE than my other map journals 4" tall x 5" wide. This makes a great pocket journal.
