Indonesian blankbook: Endpapers


Below you see the endpapers of the Indonesian blankbook shown here and here  They are printed in a fetching shade of orangey pink. The pattern consists of dark orange squares on a paler "arabesque" background. 

I have observed that most modern blankbooks do not have decorated endpapers. Although certainty economical, it does rob the books of a certain amount of charm.

Christmas wrapping paper (2)

This is yet another piece of wrapping paper with a Christmas theme. This is a simple pattern of reindeer, pine trees, and small dancing Santas, arranged into stripes. As you can see, it was taped into the form of a bag. This is a popular mode of wrapping presents.
