Book Reviews of Handstitched Tao Bamboo LinedBook Review: Beautiful Book! Summary: 5 Stars
It's sometimes difficult to know until you hold a journal in your hands if its quality is worthy of your thoughts. Curious about this series of blank books, I located one in a Border's store so I could examine it closely, and was sold (though I actually bought several of various styles through Amazon due to the greatly reduced price and wide selection).
Just wanted to reassure any curious journal-keepers that this is a very nice book for having paper binding. The surfaces of the front and back plates are silky smooth, taut and very pretty. The spine, being sewn with strings, is tight, yet allows the book to lay completely flat when open. The pages inside are very smooth, practically non-porous grain, and of a medium weight, thick enough for fine-tip pen-and-ink, but too thin for any other medium of drawing or writing element. I'm usually a fan of leather-bound journals because they're sturdier and more aesthetically pleasing to me, but as paper-bound journals go, these are among the nicest I've seen.
Summary of Handstitched Tao Bamboo LinedTraditional Chinese painters aimed at capturing the inner essence of the visual form through the rhythmic movement of their brushstroke on silk or paper, attuned to transmit the invisible forces of the universe -- the Tao that pervades the world that we inhabit. This painting by a Chinese Master reveals the workings of the Tao through the vitality and expressiveness of the brushstrokes and the harmonious rhythm of composition. Handstitched open-back spines with silky matte laminated paper covers over boards. Lined creamy, archival-quality paper.
