Summary Paperblanks First Folio Shakespeare’s Library is a Midi Flexis journal inspired by one of the most important books in English literature. This 5 x 7 inch journal is available with lined or blank pages and features a embossed softcover, Smyth-sewn binding, 176 pages and an elastic band closure. Product Story The design is inspired by a remarkable binding of Shakespeare’s First Folio, formally titled Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies. First published in 1623, the First Folio preserved many of Shakespeare’s plays that had never appeared in print before, including Macbeth, The Tempest and Twelfth Night. This reproduction is based on a copy housed at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., where more than one-third of the surviving First Folios are held. Its gold-tooled cover was created around 1800 by German bookbinder Christian Samuel Kalthoeber, giving this journal a direct connection to both literary history and fine bookbinding. What makes this special? ✓ First Folio inspiration: The design is based on a historic binding of Shakespeare’s 1623 First Folio, one of the most influential printed books in English literature. ✓ Choice of page style: Choose lined pages for writing or blank pages for sketching, visual notes and free-form use. ✓ Flexible softcover: The Flexis cover and spine feel comfortable in hand while keeping the journal lighter than a traditional hardcover. ✓ Open-flat binding: Smyth-sewn binding helps the journal lay flat, giving you a smoother writing surface across the page. ✓ Smooth 100 gsm paper: Acid-free sustainable forest paper gives each page a substantial, comfortable writing feel. ✓ Useful finishing details: An elastic band closure, ribbon marker and back cover pouch make the journal practical for daily notes and longer writing.
