Before the advent of dust jackets many books, especially those for children, were bound in brightly coloured cloth with pictorial blocking in gold and other striking colours.

The notebook cover features a colourful 19th- and 20th- century bookshelf design, with girls adventure book titles all taken from the Bodleian Libraries collections.

This notebook includes a practical pocket at the back and two ribbon markers and stays safely closed by a built-in magnetic closure.

Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the notebook cover has been embossed then foil stamped.
