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.
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.

Had a good experience from this independent retailer. Straightforward purchasing, prompt delivery, and all items were beautifully and sustainably gift wrapped. Will be using them again!
I purchased a few gifts for a friend who had just had a baby. I bought her newborn the Baby Threads Bunny Comforter and the Bird & Kitten Teethers. I also bought the Panda Organic Bath Mitt for the baby's big brother. The gifts arrived promptly, were beautiful and of great quality. My friend loved them. My kids are all grown up but I will be back as soon as I have any grandchildren!
Can’t express enough the quality of the baskets I ordered. Excellent communication and delivery. Won’t hesitate to order other items.
I bought the winter solstice hot chocolate, which was absolutely delicious. Ordering process was quick and simple, and the product was delivered 3 days from order, wrapped in nice packaging.
Will definitely be shopping here again as the product was so tasty.
