Description: A sweet yellow, green, and red children's book on goats that has been repurposed into a smart little junk journal, handcrafted reusing its original cover, several of the original pages, PH neutral bookbinder's glue, recycled book ephemera, blank pages, and string-bound signatures. Total page count is approximately 80. Overall measurements are 9h x 6w x d. A thin, medium-sized journal for your bookbag. Sharp corners and only a little softening. For the writer or sketch artist, there are plenty of pages that are blank or minimally decorated. Would also work well as a personal note journal, black book, poetry book, spells/potions journal, travel companion, general list space, etc. Fill it with a letter to a loved one, gift it for Halloween, or bestow it on your favorite Capricorn! I find that people don't generally pull these off the shelf to flip through them, so they stay relatively private. ;) I like these for poetry journals, writing down quotes, musicians, artists, authors, movies, things to research later, passing thoughts, phone numbers, etc, and it's fun to go through my old journals years later to see what interested me at the time. There is a bit of staining on the back cover, which may be why it was withdrawn. See pics. This is a vintage kid's book. Book corners are sometimes worn & lightly softened. Some pages may show small wrinkles, previous string/binding holes, the occasional tear, aging spots, and unknown matter, but all of those are minimized in my selection process and I try to provide enough photos that you know what you're getting into. I try to use pages that are of substantial weight, and limit my use of glossy or thin pages, so it makes for a durable writing experience and every page is useable. Markers, stickers, and mailing labels can be used on the glossy pages. PAGES/THEMES: Pep, Pepper, goats, topographic maps, Alberta, Barclay, Juan De Fuca, firemen, music, foreign language, railroads, fairies, children, tigers, black cats, Valentines, holidays, Halloween, polar coordinates, dinosaurs, fossils, brain scans, sun/moon, top hats, roosters, buildings. There are a small handful of pages from the original book reworked into this one. Words can be circled throughout to tell something subliminal. This item was handmade within the last six months and has been delicately stored. My M/O: I'm a book surgeon and paper afficionado. I love rescuing old books that have been discarded/damaged/decommissioned and repurposing them into functional works of art. My goal is to save them and give them a new life. These take a lot of time to construct, and I try to price them accordingly. I take great effort to make each one unique, and sometimes themed (subliminally or otherwise). My stash books & junk journals make thoughtful gifts, as there will never be another that's identical. :) Please be sure to ask questions prior to bidding/buying, as refunds are not offered on these auctions. I always charge just a small amount for shipping and then cover any overages myself. US buyers only, please. Thanks kindly for looking, and for supporting an indie artist!
