New Love for Old Books

Novel Novels are blank sketchbooks and journals, made from discarded library books. They're available in our Etsy Store.

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 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.
