A Cheng Book with a pale blue cover
The defining feature of a Cheng Book is the style of binding. It is open-backed and adhesive free. The binding depends entirely on the sewing threads and their linkage between sections. If asking for a Cheng Book to be made ~ and I am happy to make one to order ~ it is necessary to stipulate several other properties [120985].
The book illustrated is a small ~ 5"x4" A6 ~ 148x105 ~ artist's sketch book ~ or journal ~ with 32 leaves. The covers are made from folios of thick artist's watercolour ~ handmade ~ paper. The inside sheets are a light cream ~ unlined ~ thick ~ 140gsm ~ machine-made ~ cartridge paper.
