I have been on a search for ruled paper (lined paper) for journals for years. So many book artists love making blank books and so many people are terrified of pure white pages...the obvious answer is to use lined or grid paper in books. But up until now, I haven't been able to find the paper.
One line in a blog from the Green Chair Press sent me on a search to a little company in Iowa called Golden Business Forms and its owner, Sue Pratt. Sue has a beautiful ruling machine (made in 1932) which is able to create lined paper of all sizes and colors as well as ledger paper and other business forms. There is a wonderful video on her site showing how the ruling machine works. She uses a lovely linen/cotton combo paper but has access to Mohawk Superfine as well or can rule on any stock you provide. She's happy to send you a sample book and talk over any project you have. Her web site also has pictures of work that she's done for other artists and binderies. I'm thrilled to have found her.
There are a few ways to determine how well run a business is: is their customer service good? Do they offer valuable products? Are their products priced well? These are all important, but I believe that any business with Goldens running it...literally Golden Retrievers....has got to be a quality establishment.
