Autumn Joy Rebound Journal

Description

Part of my Rebound Journal series, the covers are from a discarded vintage book whose title and contents are better forgotten. New life for an old unlovable book!

This book was lovingly disassembled to allow the linen bookcloth to be reglued over the spine edge so there are no raw edges on the covers. Covers are lined with calendar pages with a warm and glowing autumn image. This journal is Coptic bound with 6 fall colours of waxed linen thread allowing it to lie perfectly flat when open.

The covers are in excellent condition, and a few punched copper leaves fell onto the front while it was being assembled. While the leaves are attached with a strong jeweller’s glue, this journal should be handled with care to prevent the many stems and points from catching on objects it comes in contact with.

The inside is filled with a generous 160 pages (counting both sides), of various reclaimed papers, all blank on one side. Each section of pages is wrapped with a colourful fall image from a gently used calendar.

This journal measures 21.5 x 12.5 cm (8.5 x 5”).

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.
