Write Here Journals
Write Here Journals
Letterpress printed, hand-sewn blank books to boldly encourage anyone to WRITE HERE!
Size: 8 inches tall x 5 inches wide (closed), with a slim profile to fit into purse or bag.
48 interior pages of Mohawk Superfine heavyweight text stock — excellent for writing or sketching.
Each jacket is letterpress printed with large antique wood type with the inspiration to “Write Here” — “Write” on the front, “Here” on the back,” and punctuation marks on each inside flap.
Jackets are of sturdy Canson cover stock in a choice of colors — Cobalt (a deep blue), Cinnamon (similar to terracotta), or Sage (a soft green).
Journals are sewn by hand with thick linen thread in colors to match the jackets.
Here at St Brigid Press, we are honored to care for a wide range of vintage wood type. Most of it is well over a century old, like this 5”-tall French Clarendon made by Hamilton Wood Type in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, in the early 1900s. It was a delight to set this up on the press, roll a thick layer of transparent ink over it, and see the resulting print turn the jacket paper an even richer color. These make inspiring gifts for the journalers or jotters in your life — or grab one and let it serve your own creativity as you WRITE HERE!
