Recycled Book Journals
Handmade from recycled book covers. These journals are filled with nice white paper along with a few choice cover pages and illustrations and/or pages from the original book sprinkled in amongst the blank sheets. All of this is bound together with a big black plastic spiral. There is a great collection of covers: including Dr. Seuss, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, cookbooks, technical manuals, classics and goofy covers that are good for a laugh. A perfect place to browse for that personalized unique gift.

Those journals are fantastic!
Knowing they’re recycled while still carrying glimpses of the book’s former glory inside is sure to be a huge inspiration for writing.

As a book lover and a writer, I drool over journals of all sorts, but it’s the greenie in me that appreciates the creative reuse. Nice way to extend the life of books that might be too damaged or outdated for your library, and a great way to highlight the neat illustrations and graphics on these old volumes.
