Once discarded and headed for the landfill, this vintage red Word Book II has been rescued and transformed into a one-of-a-kind handmade journal, giving a forgotten book a wonderful new purpose.

The original bright red cover, bold vintage typography, and well-loved appearance make this little journal full of nostalgic charm. Inside, you'll find a unique assortment of writing papers, vintage book pages, and repurposed materials, creating a special place for notes, thoughts, lists, sketches, and everyday inspiration.

A vintage-inspired library bookplate adds an extra touch of nostalgia, while a coordinating red pen makes this rescued treasure both beautiful and functional. When getting to the end pages you may have to jiggle the journal a bit to get it back in alignment.

Please Note: This Book Has Lived a Life!

This book is definitely worn and shows noticeable signs of age and use, including scuffs, scratches, worn edges, and imperfections throughout the original cover. It was discarded and destined for the landfill before being rescued and transformed into a journal. The front page wasn't showing the full title so we hand drew the lettering in to make it look complete.

We have intentionally preserved its original character rather than trying to make it look new. These imperfections are part of its history and charm. Please review all photographs carefully, as the exact journal pictured is the one you will receive.
