Re: Looking for Concorde Rag replacement

Thanks for the pointer towards Bamboo, Tyler.  Maybe I'll pick up a box next time I'm in my local shop.  They may even have a sample out.

Since it isn't made anymore I was wondering if anyone can recommend a very close replacement paper.  For those who do not immediately recall, the trademarks that I like in this paper is the very rich cream color (almost to the point of yellow) and the linen weave texture of the paper.
