Soft Touch Journals, the new paperback notebook series from Flame Tree featuring a range of popular designs by artists and illustrators, are lightweight journals with the same high-quality production as our hardback journals. Our trademark blend of the practical and beautiful, with gold foiled page edges, gloss detailing on the tactile matt cover and lined pages, they're perfect for notes, creative writing, poetry, doodles and lists. Easy to slip into your bag, a pleasure to use. Simply, they feel good! Anna Stead is an illustrator working from her home in the beautiful North Cotswolds.
