Our first product collaboration with Reykjavik-based designer Sruli Recht is a notebook for the ponderous. Save for the virgin pages, it resembles a lost book from another time. From the textured leather cover, to the water-warped paper, to the horseshoe nails that bind its pages, it is as much about tactility as it is functionality. Even in a digital era, the weight of words still bears meaning.

• Cover: laser-cut and hand-pleated, ethically sourced Icelandic horse skin
  
• Color: Battle Green (exclusively created for Ghostly International)
• Binding: Square horseshoe nails
  
• Paper: 160 pages (large notebook) or 100 pages (small notebook), 100gsm, Swedish deadstock with water-warped edges
• Dimensions (actual paper):  5.75 × 8.25 in. (large notebook) or 4.33 x 3.54 in. (small notebook)
