A replica of a soldier’s WWI diary dated 1914, this style was in common use on both sides of the pond. Typically thought of as a reporter’s style, the oblong “flip top” was in common use even in the early 1800’s (See our Lewis & Clark Codex A & B). You’ll see one of these WWI diaries on display in the U.S. Army Museum, held by an engineering officer.
Bound in morocco leather with or without a pencil loop, rounded corners, in black or brown. (Other custom colors available). These may be embossed either in blind or gold with your name, company logo, etc. (Photos 7 & 8 give examples. A name adds $15. Enquire about pricing for custom artwork.)
The standard version can be made to size, but typically runs 120 pages, 3.75″ x 6.75″. (If you have smaller pockets, we’ll scale it down.)
We also offer a refillable version (see our other listings) which fits the Moleskine Reporter Notebook (3.5″ x 5.5″, squared, ruled, or blank).
I make these at The Gilded Leaf: Fine Bookbinding & Restoration in Maryville, Tennessee. Ask about any customizing you'd like, including your name or company logo. Though we try to keep several of each item on hand, we'll often need a week or two to get your order up on the bench and made. You're welcome to ask what's in stock and if another color option could ship faster.
