Journal - The Supernatural Guide and Index
This journal is made from a discarded vintage book from a series on the supernatural and occult. It contains 50 sheets (100 pages) of new bright white heavy (28#) unlined paper (30% post-consumer recycled content), and is bound with a 3/4” black plastic spiral. I have included the original title page of the book and have also scattered a few illustrated pages from the original book throughout the new blank pages. (One illustration in this journal is of several nude figures in a style reminiscent of “The Scream” which some people may find disturbing.) The back cover has a pentagram design as shown in the last photo above.
The journal measures 8”x10-1/2” (20.5x26.5cm) overall, including the spiral, and the pages are 7”x10-1/4” (18x26cm). Since these journals are made with recycled books, there may be signs of wear and use, such as worn areas, scratches, slightly bent corners, and/or stains. There may also sometimes be old library ownership stamps, library card pockets and other miscellaneous markings inside the book covers. I think all these “imperfections” add to the charm of the item. Each journal is unique!
