Description
The second of the three Kulla-Gulla covers: på herrgården. Same series by Martha Sandwall-Bergström, same second-hand shop, same day — the three were bought together and rebuilt one after the other.
22 sheets of Hahnemühle Expression — 300 g/m² (140 lb), cold press, 100% cotton, acid free, hand-torn deckle edge — hand-sewn and cased into the original boards. Cotton paper is what separates a sketchbook from a notebook: it takes a soaking wash, dries without buckling, and lets you lift colour back out. The three are also offered as a set.

This cover comes from a second-hand book that was already damaged inside. Expect honest wear on the boards — faded cloth, bumped corners, marks from decades of handling. None of it affects how the notebook works, and all of it is the reason the cover still exists.
