Description
Pirres jul is a Swedish children's Christmas book signed with the pen name Teddy, bought second-hand in October 2026 and rebuilt from the boards in.
It holds 18 sheets of Hahnemühle Expression — 300 g/m² (140 lb), cold press, 100% cotton, acid free, deckle edge — on the tallest page in the cotton line, 13.5 × 21 cm. Hand-sewn and cased into the original boards. Fewer sheets than its neighbours by design: at 17 mm this is the narrowest spine in the catalogue, and the block has to sit inside it without forcing the boards apart.

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.
