Publication - Stock Samples

I requested some paper samples from G.F Smith this morning to print my publication on. I was specifically looking for textured yellowy-cream papers to try and re-create the old-fashioned look that some of the books I've read have had because of their age. I requested:

Peregrina Majestic Candlelight Cream 120gsm
Peregrina Majestic Candlelight Cream 290gsm
Original Gmund Beige Verge 120gsm
Original Gmund Beige Verge 300gsm
Parch Marque Natural 90gsm
Parch Marque Natural 176gsm
Lorenzo Topaz 100gsm
Lorenzo Topaz 150gsm
Lorenzo Vellum 95gsm
Lorenzo Vellum 220gsm

I thought G.F Smith were a particularly appropriate foundry to request from given the high-end nature of their papers, as it's a sort of indulgence that supports the idea of the will to power.

I have particularly high hopes for the Parch Marque Natural 90gsm and the Lorenzo Topaz 100gsm samples.
