From Log Cabin to White House by WM Thayer - Antiquated Spiral Bound Journal

£17.00
Item number: 1

This antiquated journal is bound in a deep green paper and embossed to represent bookcloth. There is an overall, further embossed design to the front cover with an intricate design of a phoenix motif and thistles. The title is gilt with a stylized phoenix emblem. All typical of the 1900s.

I reinvent exhausted books that have split spines, loose boards, torn pages or even a few missing chapters. With a little sympathetic restoration plus the addition of a sketch grade paper and useful envelopes this abandoned book has a new lease of life.......

Please look closely at the images provided, I have shown any age related ware where necessary. I find these additions interesting and characterful, like little moments in time....
