I am looking for an adjective to describe a surface that feels to the touch like a very fine sandpaper, a bit rougher than the surface of a MacBook laptop, or like the paper used for mass paperback books. When you glide your hand on it it feels both smooth and sandpapery, velvety sandpaper.

Example:

The very fine sandpapery cover of the book.

 

The very fine sandpapery surface of the wall.

would be replaced by the adjective:

The [adjective] cover of the book.

 

The [adjective] surface of the wall.
