"I use mine to record my Martial Arts journey. It's awesome to look back as a Black Belt and have all the little notations that made it happen. I use it as my teaching tool now."

We offer Manuscript Binding! "I'm a writer. I would want one. Whether it's a manuscript I never intend to publish or that really special copy bound like no other, I want it on my shelf! Seeing it there keeps me motivated during the harder times in writing."

*upgrade: Lined Paper
$ 5.00 USD The Journals come with blank paper, but if you'd like it lined, we can do that too. Add this upgrade to your cart to have all your pages printed with lines before we bind it. The price is to help cover the cost of ink. Upgrade covers One Standard book, up to Two Small books, or one Book Set. Lines are similar spaced to College Ruled paper Can be applied to any size Journal :) Other options: "Lined Template" for blank paged Journals. See Bling page for details.

Make it a Scrapbook!
No Image Available $ 2.00 USD This option changes your journal selection and makes it a scrapbook-style book instead. By doing this, there will be changes to your pages. The standard 320 pages will still be represented, but every other page will only be a small tab in the back. This means that your spine will be the normal thickness, but the other end of the book will be half the size. Like a wedge. This way, when you add pictures and other bits of paper, it will fill out to a flat position, rather than over bulging. :) So, you'll have approx 160-200 pages and room for more. (picture coming)

*upgrade: Old Style Binding with Leather Spine
$ 2.00 USD This upgrade can be added to any of our standard Journal or Text project books. This is an old way of hand sewn binding. The paper signatures are sewn onto ropes and then rounded across the spine. Usually 3 or 4 binds, pending on the size of the book. The ropes are used to hold the board-covers together, creating the hinges seen beneath the material. Every book will differ. To get the dramatic results as seen, we also include a Leather Spine Upgrade. Although this old style of binding can be covered with our standard suede, it tends not to show the many details that the leather can. textures and color vary pending on batch received. We will make the best match to compliment your cover choice. Preferences can be made via email. Most common: black and dark brown. (pictured with dark brown) charge is to help cover the cost of leather and the additional time it takes to make this style. See Bling Page for additional spine options. Note: You will need to select a Cover from the Covers Gallery (upgrade includes any Standard or LE paper choice. pic with a 'build your own' photo submission: see Covers Gallery for details)

*additional 40 Sheets (80 writing pages)
$ 1.00 USD Additional pages can be added to any binding. For Text project bindings, this equals 80 of YOUR document pages: font 12, double-spaced, 8.5 x 11 pages If you require more than this, simply add more additions to the cart until you've reached what you need.

Shipping/Handling (1-2 books)
$ 5.00 USD We estimate minimum $5 of shipping/handling for up to 1-2 books (according to the Post Office). Up to 3 for the Minis. This includes anywhere in the United States of America (mainland).
