Bodleian Libraries: Hobbies & Pastimes Blank Journal

Beautiful and luxurious, the journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art. The highly crafted covers are printed on foil paper, embossed then foil stamped, complemented by the luxury binding and rose red end-papers. Notebooks come with practical features too: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list; robust ivory text paper, printed with lines; and when you need to collect other notes or scraps of paper the magnetic side flap keeps everything neat and tidy.

With colourful illustrations and charming tales, these story anthologies showcase the sports and hobbies young people could enjoy during the 1930s.
