Bullet vintage newspaper 20000 Leagues Under the Sea handmade on sale in an old French book and bound with dotted paper of ultra smooth quality

This vintage edition of 20,000 Leagues Under the Seas by Jules Verne is now a hand-bound notebook, it's up to you to fill it with your stories and drawings!
Bullet journal fans? Its dotted blank pages are just waiting for your ideas!

There are some stains and the notebook is slightly damaged on the front cover but this is, in my opinion, what makes all its charm!

Size:

Ø Pages (front+back = 2 pages): 144 pages
Ø Height: 17 cm
Ø Width : 11,8 cm
Ø Slice thickness: 1.6 cm
Ø Paper type: white with dotted lines, 90 grams (+ 12 pages of the original book)

This book is composed of 6 notebooks connected to the slice by hand with on sale cotton thread. I chose a Coptic binding to guarantee an optimal flat opening.

More than a notebook, an upcycled book, these are stories, memories of the first reading of a favorite book. And to upcycle these old books that I collect full of dust, tasks, is to offer them a new life and avoid them the trash.

WWF estimates that depending on the scenarios, the end of life (household waste and recycling) would concern 107,000 to 233,000 t/year of books, all sources combined.

The notebooks I propose have been washed but they can have marks, stripes, discoloration, or other. It's upcycling, not new. But it is in old books that we make the best notebooks!

The colors of the photos may vary depending on the settings of your screen.

Expedition:

The items are packed in tissue paper and shipping is made via Colissimo. I try to reuse cardboard packages already used to limit the impact on the environment, but sometimes I do not have any on hand and therefore use new ones that I invite you to reuse later for your own shipments.

Thank you very much for your visit. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions or if you are interested in a click & collect in Moëlan sur Mer.
