Ex Libris Anonymous

As a writer, I have about 50,000 journals (maybe not that many). I have almost all of the journals I have ever had, even from before I could write and my mom wrote for me. None of my journals are as cool as this one, by Ex Libris Anonymous. These are journals made from old cooks books, Dr. Seuss Books, Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys books, and designs from several other antique books.

As a collector of antique children's books, I absolutely had to have a Nancy Drew journal. I checked out all of Ex Libris Anonymous's options, but in the end, I needed a children's book.

The journal is awesome. The first and last few pages are actual pages from the book. There is a sticker in the front with the little girl's name who owned the book and in the back, the pictures are colored in. Needless to say, the journal has a lot of character.

These journals have truly unlike any I have come across and are a must have for any serious journal-ers. I am not sure yet whether I want to add Ex Libris Anonymous's book to my collection or use it for an actual journal.
