Textured and shaded, acid-neutral paper won't turn yellow over time. Pages are Smyth-sewn into the binding for permanence (not glued like ordinary books). Endpapers are beautiful satin moire, specially dyed for the publisher. All edges gilded on three sides to enhance the book's elegance. Satin ribbon page marker bound into book.
