The covers for this journal are made of recycled sign vinyl and old advertising posters and have been stitched to create pockets. This creates a completely one of a kind and original journal. The exterior measures roughly 5.5x9 inches in size and is about an inch thick. There are 320 pages (both sides) of vintage 1984 IBM brand computer paper. It’s got green and white lines on one side and is plain white on the other side. It’s sturdy and great for writing. Its stitched with natural unbleached hemp in a style called the long stitch. It’s a centuries old binding style that is done in modern materials.
These journals are very tough and survive rough use. I use these for work notebooks that have to survive travel and everyday use. When the covers get dirty they wipe clean with soap and water. The covers can be decorated with sharpies and other markers.
If interested you can see some of my notebooks just like these in use and after several years of rough use on my flickr page (link to the right.)

Inspiration / Story behind this Product:
I recycle fervently. I gather advertising posters from a local grocery store and make them into these books. Most of the posters are not recyclable because they are made of vinyl which wears well even when exposed to extreme weather. By creating these notebooks I give them a second life! No two are ever alike!
