This listing is for one rebound journal. You choose from the four books in the photos, all lovely green books with the common thread of language studies.
Your book will be lovingly disassembled to allow the bookcloth to be reglued over the spine edge so there are no raw edges on the covers. Cover endpapers will be a surprise: maps, old text pages from the existing books, or decorative paper. All of these covers are in excellent condition, reflecting the quality of educational books made in the 1950's and 60's. Your journal will be bound with waxed linen thread using a double needle coptic binding, leaving a lovely chain stitch on the spine. This allows the book to lie perfectly flat when open.
The inside will be filled with at least 140 pages (counting both sides), of various reclaimed papers, all blank on at least one side. To see the types of reclaimed papers I use in my rebound journals, please take a look at the other journals in this section:

It is difficult to predict shipping costs for multiple items. I will refund any overpayment in shipping greater than $1.50 and will combine shipping with any items purchased in my other shop: prairiethreads.etsy.com.
If you are not a local buyer paying with cash at pick-up, please do not check "other" for payment. In this shop this is only for local buyers.
