This nocturnelle ultra is black with gold lining in an ornate patterned design. Paperblanks writing diaries are one of the most unique, unusual, and earth friendly available. This British publisher understands how to combine exquisite craftsmanship with environmental commitment. The acid-free paper is made with only certified sustainable forest pulp. The binder boards are European-made with 100% recycled paper. The company that creates these vintage looking diaries is paying a self-imposed company carbon tax proportional to the GHG releases. I could go on about their merits but what is really amazing is that these writing diaries looks too good to be made out of eco friendly materials.
