J.R.R. Tolkien quote- Vintage Typewriter Hand Typed on library due date card- the world is

PaperElation  
5 out of 5 stars

Item highlights

  • Materials: literary love, typed text, due date card, vintage typewriter, quote, paper, happiness and creativity
  • Made to order

Seller's description

Any Tolkien fan will love this quote which I hand typed on one of my vintage typewriters, including a 1962 Smith-Corona Galaxie. And even better, the quote is typed onto your choice of a library book due date card. Nostalgia abounds! Perfect for your card or mixed media project, or even simply for framing or use as a special bookmark. The card measures roughly 3” x 5”.

The standard card I use is an authentic new white library due date card, which is made of card stock. You can also select other library card options indicated in the varieties field- swipe photos for available options. For an additional fee you can choose to have the card laminated by purchasing the laminate add-on (a separate listing in the shop).

FREE GIFT with every purchase! One book pocket (design of my choosing) is included with your order. Additional pockets can be purchased- see the listing for “book pockets.” (Please note- ONE book pocket is included, no matter how many quote cards you order)
