Product Information
From the Publisher
Celestial Journal
First designed for the verses of poet Edward Frank Willis James, the Celestial Journal’s cover now stands ready for your own writing.
Features
Ornate Cover Details
Golden suns, planets, stars, and banners stand in sharp relief due to raised embossing you can feel.
Gilded Edges
Gold tipping makes each page edge shine, catching the light as you turn it.
Great Functionality
Binding opens flat for ease of use. The journal is large enough to write in expansively, but compact enough to fit with ease inside a small messenger bag or backpack.
Paper Quality
Premium grade 120 gsm ivory paper is luxuriously smooth. Light gray lines subtly guide your writing. Pens and fine-line markers lay down crisp ink without feathering or bleed-through. Colored pencil shows up vividly, and graphite erases cleanly with light pressure.
Journals with History
Peter Pauper Press’s Bookbound Journals reproduce classic and beautiful covers created by history’s master book binders. The Celestial Journal’s binding is the work of London firm Henry T. Wood, a bindery known for striking and unique designs.
Serious Craftsmanship
The original binding's gold leaf motifs were meticulously tooled onto a base of cerulean goat leather via a multi-step process involving heat and pressure. The modern-day journal recreates this effect with gold foil highlights against a deep blue leather-textured background printed on iridescent paper.
In 1928, at the age of twenty-two, Peter Beilenson began printing books on a small press in the basement of his parents’ home in Larchmont, New York. Peter -- and later, his wife, Edna -- sought to create fine books that sold at prices ''even a pauper could afford.''
Today, still family owned and operated, Peter Pauper Press continues to honor our founders’ legacy -- and our customers’ expectations -- of beauty, quality, and value.
