just enough... FOREIGN TEXT PAPER!

(deluxe assortment)

you will receive an 8.5 x 11" notebook-ready plastic page protector sleeve filled with more than *TWENTY* sheets of foreign language ephemera from different vintage books and booklets! Page sizes range from 3.5 x 5" to 9 x 12"... with a little bit of everything in between! Approximate age ranges from early 20th century to current; paper types range from glossy bright white, to magazine-weight, to middle-aged cream, to "onion skin" paper, to seriously yellow-patina-ed with age... the latter either all over or in select areas. languages include spanish, french, german, japanese, chinese, thai, greek, hebrew, arabic, icelandic, hungarian, russian and more! some have english translations, most do not. the majority are just text, some also have photographs or illustrations either in color or black and white or sepia. there are guidebooks, dictionaries, textbooks, handbooks, children's workbooks, storybooks, poetry, gossip magazines, a machinist's manual (in russian) and lots more! a really ASSORTED assortment, if i may be redundant, lol? :) a fabulous "kit" for a language or travel-themed collage or decoupage project, a fine start to a collection of crafty ephemera, or an instant art journaling stash!

every packet is *GUARANTEED* to be gloriously, wonderfully, individually IMPERFECT!!! you'll find small tears, wrinkles, spots, stains, browning, fading, pen or pencil marks, antique scotch tape, smudges, smears, etc, etc, on virtually every page... and THAT (imo!) is the BEAUTY OF VINTAGE!

rest assured that i use books that are no longer in readable/pristine condition; most have been saved from a date with the recycling center. no "HEALTHY" books were harmed in the making of these assortments! :)

please note that photos show a sample pack only! each collection is unique, but as equal in content and variety as humanly possible; i've made them as close to "the same" as you can get when working with unique vintage items!

(pages sized larger than the 8.5 x 11" page protector have either been trimmed, folded, or both, as unobtrusively as possible in order to keep packaging and postage STANDARD SIZED and affordable for both of us!)
