Cave Papers are superb - long-lasting, tough and they have a lot of surface interest.There are often two sheet sizes and weights available, so you have choices, depending on the size of your book I have also had great success with the (lighter) weight Kadhi water color paper (Cheap Joe's and other suppliers).It only comes in white, so I paint it, often in layers of colors, rolled on with a combo of methyl cellulose and acrylic paint. That's my 2 cents worth.
