BRAND NEW JOURNAL DESIGNS IN A LIMITED EDITION FOR LIMITLESS FUN!
PAWTUCKET, RI -- If’n Books + Marks has some new additions to its line of handmade journals, albums and stationery. Say hello to the brand new Corace Journals.
These fun journals feature three exclusive designs by illustrator Jen Corace. The hard workers at If’n Books screenprint the covers by hand onto boards and case each one in with high-quality text blocks made in fancy-pants Italy, adding a smooth reinforced polyethylene fiber along the spine for durability and happy fingers.
Customers may customize their journal by choosing from the three covers: Procession, Mutiny and Garden Spot (a family of elephants, competing pirates and a gardening girl respectively). These journals are ideal for penning brilliant plans, scheming thoughts, clever drawings, delicious recipes, obsessive notetaking – and more. The pages are durable text-weight ivory. And retailing for $24 each, they are quite affordable.
"We like to make books that are equal parts fun functional object and beautiful art piece," says designer and If'n Books owner Deb Dormody. "And since these journals are a limited edition, interested parties must act like quick bunnies to get their paws on one."
Corace Journals feature:
* A choice of three brilliant covers screenprinted by hand in Providence, RI!
* A whole lot of pages - 144 of them!
* A handy pocket at the front of the book to store business cards, tickets, phone numbers.
* The perfect size to tote in purses or sit unobtrusively on a desk! 5x6.5"
