This vintage sketch notebook features an original cover from an old, unwanted book that has been rescued from a library requiring space for new books. The inner works are removed by hand and refilled with unlined sketch paper from sustainably managed forests, giving new life to an old book. Please note - the paper sleeve of this book has some damage!
Why we love it
Every notebook sketchbook is a true 'one-off'. Old unwanted books are donated by libraries, second hand book shops, and publishing companies and About Blanks remove the old inner works and refill the hardback cover with sustainable blank sketch paper. The blank paper has a light cream shade and the texture makes it perfect for sketching and making notes. Because the old covers are reused, each About: Blanks sketch notebook is different and therefore unique and one of a kind.
Hand made in The Netherlands at a social employment facility, where people with a disability or poor job prospects can get a job, and through this participate in society. The brand's main aim is to make products that stimulate personal stories and development for users, and also for its co-workers.
Measures approximately 16cm wide x 22cm long.
Materials: Original vintage hardback book cover with FSC approved paper pages.

I ordered a Kantha scarf and some chocolates, all absolutely beautiful and efficient delivery.
I purchased these laundry sheets as I do not now use washing powder. I also have a septic tank, which I am very conscientious about. I have looked at other sheets which require transport, but as these claim to be made in the UK I am all for cutting down the carbon footprint.
Good range of handmade soaps available at good prices, order +ame quickly and well packaged. Thank you
I found Greentulip whilst searching online. I ordered a beautiful baby grow, some wooden Teethers & a little comfort bunny. They all arrived beautifully wrapped in tissue paper& they arrived quickly too! I would definitely recommend them for extra special baby gifts.
