I’ve
covered the subject of map-covered writing books before, but I am just returning to it for
a quick post because I think I have found the best notebooks to use!
Backing
a plain notebook with an old map is a terrific way to show it some new love. I
find staring at a map very cathartic while trying to write, I can chuckle at
place names and take myself off on an imaginary historic journey through bits
of old Britain, now lost forever. It makes your notebook both more inviting and
more durable.
I
have just backed a pack of books, and have placed two of these for sale in
my Etsy shop. The others are for me. The notebooks that I have used are
standard school writing books, and I purchased a pack of five from Ryman’s in
Buxton at a very reasonable price. The picture
below demonstrates how I have covered the book and how easy it is. You just
need an extra strong Pritt Stick to hold it all down.
Buy
one of the finished books here for £2.99 plus postage, if you haven’t time to make your own.
