This design pays tribute to an 18th-century binding that housed the Khamsa, the groundbreaking work of Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi (c. 1141–1209). Featuring intricate floral details, our Leyla cover design beautifully reflects the essence of the original binding.
Considered 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 best-known work, the Khamsa (also known in English as the Five Treasures), is a series of five long narrative poems. The first of these, Makhzan-ol-Asrâr, was influenced by Sanai Ghaznavi's The Walled Garden of Truth, an early Sufi book of mystical poetry. The other four poems are medieval romances.
Nizami's romantic story of Layla and Majnun gave its name to the hit single "Layla" on 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 Spring 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 notebooks that are not only attractive but also extremely well-structured and 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 sewn.
All Paperblanks notebooks are bound using two methods. They are either hand-sewn using the 'Coptic' binding that originated in 4th-century Egypt, or they use Smythe sewn, the most durable binding technique, which allows the notebook to open flat without page loss.
All Paperblanks notebooks use acid-free, archival-quality, high-opacity, laid-finish writing paper. Their notebooks also feature a ribbon page marker and an inner pocket inside the back cover to store your notes.
