I spied this book while shopping in downtown Toronto in the fall. I wish I could remember the name of the store.
I had an immediate flashback because, if my memory serves, it is the same speller that I used in public school. (Just to be clear, this speller edition had been around the block many years before my year started using it.) Upon opening the book, however, I discovered that it was a recycled cover with 200 new, acid free blank pages inside. What a boon.....I am and always have been in love with anything paper...especially blank paper.
I dug a little deeper into the valise displaying other books and started to examine the collection a little more closely. And then I found this gem. I had to have it....
On the back of the lower black band it says "A Notebook With A History.....Lovingly renovated by hand....Give it a new story."....I intend to do just that.

Great Post Maureen....I soooo love old books
ReplyDeleteOooh, the design book is a great find! Love the idea of recycling old text books into new note books :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! Definitely a conversation starter and lovely bit of nostalgia :)
ReplyDeleteI love old books too and the design one sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteOmg this is right up my alley! I love the graphics on the front cover, and I love that it has the worn-in, old-book look. Can you get me one? LOL
ReplyDeleteIf you remember the name of the store, I'd love to stop by.

I can definitely get you one Tania. The next time I go to Toronto, i'll pop in and see what's there. I emailed the company Finders&Keepers to see if they could give me the name of the store either on Queen St W. or Dundas St W....but have not heard back from them.
