Novel Novels are blank sketchbooks and journals, made from discarded library books. We made these together from 2002-2010, each one by hand and sold individually.
Each is one-of-a-kind, completely unique. We take discarded library books (most of them kids books), and carefully remove the pages. Then we lovingly hand-stitch new paper into the binding. We use bright white high-quality paper and archival quality bookbinders glue. We usually include a few choice illustrations, scattered throughout the blank book. And we ALWAYS include the card catalog pocket, if available.
These were a really fun project - sourcing interesting-looking hardback library books that were ready for a new life
