Hi. I'm looking for a machine made paper that approximates the look of mid nineteenth-century paper in a light text weight. I'm not a paper guy (I'm a bookbinder) so don't know the terms, but I need something less "polished" than the modern papers I've been looking at. Seems like the old paper was rougher and absorbed moisture much better. I can get perfect handmade stuff from Ruscombe Mills (their "Machine Age" line) but for this project need far less expensive. Any suggestions?

I've looked at French's Dur-o-tone line of "newsprint" and at what's available from the large suppliers (Neenah, etc.) and though the colors are good, the feel is wrong.

Hi Bob,
