New for Spring/Summer 2012, Smythson introduces a fresh take on the classic manuscript book. Hand-bound in bright turquoise calf leather with a rich crocodile-print finish, the book features 192 watermarked, gilt-edged leaves of ruled pale blue Featherweight paper, a turquoise grosgrain ribbon marker, and flashes of coral satin-finish lining. The cover can be gold-stamped with a selection of elegant motifs and typefaces to create the ultimate, personalised gift. As with all Smythson books and diaries, the spine is stitched to ensure optimum quality, durability and practicality.
