Each of these unlined A5 sketch notebooks feature a different hardback cover made using specially selected pages extracted from old discarded books. It's a special 'One of a Kind' stationery item like no other in the entire world!
Please note that these books are pre-loved and therefore condition varies - we believe this is what makes them so charming.
Why we love it:
Every notebook 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 use some of the most beautiful pages to make the hardback covers. Because the covers are made with left over materials, each About Blanks sketch notebook is different and therefore unique and one of a kind. The unlined paper inside has a light cream shade and the texture makes it perfect for sketching and making notes.
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.
A5 size - approximately 15cm wide x 21cm long.
Materials: Hardback book cover with FSC approved paper pages.

Excellent customer service keeping me informed about my order which came in 2 batches re stock availability.
Quick delivery, well packaged and quality items.
The website is good and has a great range of products. Quick delivery. It was my first order and I’m very pleased.
I bought a vegetable brush by accident. It's nice brush, no problem with the product. But I was trying to add a discount code that the company had emailed me, and pressed the pay now button as I basically fumbled my phone. I emailed the company immediately to explain my error and they said nothing. They didn't offer to add the discount, and didn't even sympathise. I had hoped to cancel the order and start the order again, adding more things to it, but they didn't offer help. Oh well... there are plenty other companies that sell this stuff that might more amenable to mistakes!
Hi Mel, I'm so sorry to hear you didn't receive my email reply. I understand how frustrating it is to place an order by mistake, especially when you were trying to use a discount code. I’ll review what happened and work to improve how we handle these requests. Thank you for sharing your experience.
