A FLAME TREE NOTEBOOK. Exquisite and opulent, these journals blend premium craftsmanship with magnificent artwork. Ideal as a gift or a personal indulgence for writers, note-takers, travellers, students, poets, and diarists. Showcasing a diverse range of renowned and contemporary artists, with new artworks unveiled throughout the year.
BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED. The meticulously crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed, and then foil-stamped, complemented by the luxurious binding and rose-red endpapers. The covers are created by our artists and designers, who spend countless hours transforming original artwork into stunning 3D masterpieces that feel sublime in the hand and look marvellous on a desk or table.
PRACTICAL, EASY TO USE. Flame Tree Notebooks come equipped with practical features: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list; robust ivory text paper, printed with lines; and when you need to collect other notes or scraps of paper, the magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy.
THE ARTIST. For many, the name Jobs is synonymous with richly blooming fabrics that have been among the classics of Swedish textile art since the 1940s. Less well-known is that Lisbet Jobs (1909-61) and her sister Gocken Jobs (1914-95) first trained as potters. As two independent artists, they then worked side by side, and their works gained international fame. Aurora was designed for textiles by Lisbet Jobs in 1956. The pattern was composed in Leksand, Dalarna, where the sisters shared a studio. It is inspired by the surrounding flowering meadows and flower beds. Sketches for the pattern can be found in the National Museum's archives in Stockholm, Sweden.
THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
