This design pays homage to an 18th-century binding housing the Khamsa, the groundbreaking work of Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (c. 1141–1209). Featuring intricate floral detailing, our Leyla cover design beautifully reflects the contents of the original binding.
Regarded as the greatest romantic poet of Persian literature and described as the "creator of poetic scenes," Nizami brought a colloquial and ethereal quality to the Persian epic. His most famous work, Khamsa (also known as the Five Treasures in English), is a series of five long narrative poems. The first of these, Makhzan-ol-Asrâr, was influenced by The Walled Garden of Truth, an early Sufi book of mystical poems by Sanai of Ghazni. The other four poems are medieval romances.
Nizami's romantic story of Layla and Majnun gave its name to the hit single "Layla" from Eric Clapton's album Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs, which was heavily influenced by Nizami and his poems of unrequited love.
We first introduced our Persian Poetry series in the spring of 2024 with The Orchard, a cover reproducing a 17th-century binding of the Bustan by the poet and prose writer Saadi (1210–1291). As the second title in the series, the elegantly adorned cover of this Leyla journal reflects the beauty of the words found in the original 18th-century book.

Paperblanks is a Canadian manufacturer that produces quality journals that are not only attractive but also extremely well-structured, bound using traditional techniques; the bindings are not glued (a binding technique that is economical for the manufacturer but eventually leads to page loss) but are instead all stitched.
All Paperblanks journals are bound using one of two methods. They are either hand-stitched using 'Coptic' binding, which originated in 4th-century Egypt, or Smyth sewn, the most durable binding technique, which allows the journal to open flat without any page loss.
All Paperblanks journals use acid-free, archival-quality, high-opacity, fine laid writing paper. Their journals also feature a ribbon bookmark and an interior pocket inside the back cover for storing your notes.
