Unused Edwardian Notebook/Journal

I have written about this previously. It came from Jets Desiderium on Etsy and I love it!

It is an unused Edwardian notebook/journal with a most interesting story behind it. It has some cover wear – nothing near as bad as the photos make it look though – but the buckram has held up wonderfully considering it is well over 100 years old. There is no foxing on the pages which are the most wonderful toothed cream with subtle blue lines. It is nice and thick with over 300 pages.

    1. Foxing on antique books is the brown marks and spots you often see on the pages. They look a bit like rust and also the colour of a fox which I think is where the term came from.
