What a great catalog sample book this is!  It dates to the 1990s, and all the papers are Kenneth James designer papers.  The papers are heavy, and more cloth than paper.  In the 1990s, grasscloth was hugely popular.  I put some up in my kitchen, forgetting that I had cats.  They LOVED it.  They scratched it into oblivion.  I don't recommend grasscloth with cats, LOL. This is the only reason that I put the date at 1990 - it has a UPC code, and the paper was considered a huge design feature in the 1990s.  Could be later, but I don't think so.

I am 74, and 1990s feels like a lifetime ago.  OK for some of you, it IS a lifetime ago, LOL

This book is chock full (middle English chokkeful - filled to overflowing) of terrific papers.  All are different, and all coordinate.  The book is large, quite heavy and in excellent condition.  The pages aren't paginated, so I counted them, and came up with 93.  Of course that could be off; I did a fast count.  Many of the pages are ultra thick, and are stiff, while others are thinner.  ALL of the paper looks great.  I didn't see any damage to the book, or any of the pages (just that last page that is missing, probably prices).
