Vintage notebook bound with quality white paper shops 130g in a beautiful old school book of French grammar via upcycling

This vintage book The Third Year of Grammar becomes a unique notebook that will follow you everywhere. It is bound with 130g paper, ideal for drawing and writing, but also collage or any other activity that you will enjoy!

Whether you turn it into a diary, travel diary, guestbook, pregnancy diary, or to draw, its blank pages are just waiting for your ideas! But this notebook remains the ideal gift for an instit, teacher, or fan of syntax (if so, it exists, I am an example!).

I particularly like its color: a very bright gray green! And the handwritten mentions, in pen, and everything that makes this notebook has a past!

Size:
 Pages (double-sided = 2 pages): 120
 Height: 18.3 cm
 Width: 10.7 cm
 Slice thickness: 1.9 cm
 Paper type: white FSP, 130 grams (+ 8 pages of the original book)

I bound the pages by sewing by hand with waxed cotton thread, using a Coptic binding to ensure 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 shops 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, corners that have lived well, 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.
