"When sensual and beautiful papers are married with hand printing and binding in a unique expression, the result is not only impressive in the quality of craftsmanship but stimulating in its ability to move the senses." - Silvie Turner in "The Book of Fine Paper"
A book is meant to be read and handled. The paper used as its pages need to be strong, flexible and long-lasting. The weight of the paper needs consideration ? it should be thin enough to fold easily, yet thick and opaque enough to reduce any show-through. Another important quality is abrasion resistance.
Because a book is handled so much, the surface of the paper must not pick up finger grease or dirt. If colored paper is used, the color must not rub off in handling, nor transfer onto other pages. It must be lightfast and not fade.
