For those dyed-in-the-wool romantics out there, I'm certain the 2004 film 'The Notebook' holds a special place in your hearts. For those who haven't seen the film (no spoilers!) it is the story of Allie Nelson and Noah 'Duke' Calhoun, whose life-long love is retold through the pages of Allie's journal. The notebook itself takes on a significance all its own throughout the film which I can't properly convey here, though the fact that it takes the title role should give a hint of its importance.
The book in the film was of course just a movie prop, with a small group of pages pre-printed and repeated multiple times to give the effect of a filled journal. In this video series I embark on recreating that journal as it might have been before Allie first set pen to paper. I've tried to make the video in a tutorial style, which you can follow to either make your own 'The Notebook' notebook, or a journal that's all your own. You can follow along as I plan out the project, cut and fold paper for the pages, cut the cover boards, lay out and pierce the sewing holes, sew the text block, cut and attach endpapers, and finally trim the pages to size. In future videos I will complete the case, apply the book cloth, pare and apply the leather corners, tool the decorative lines, and finally attach the text block to the cover, completing the book.

And if there are other movie books you'd like me to re-create, let me know in the comments! I have a few in mind but I'm sure there are more, and if this video proves popular I might make it into a full Book-Prop series.
As always, thanks for watching!
