I'm a new subbie this morning. First saw "Labels 2.0" early this morning. Love them. So different than all label videos I've seen. So I will be making them next. This video on books is FANTASTIC!!! When I first started making junk journals 2 years ago, I could NOT cut up a book!!! Cuz I love books. But I got over it cuz I'm retired and decided it's time to USE my books. I've gotten many great used thrift store books and I love using them for journal making. Its a great way to "share" old books. I told myself NO MORE BOOKS for a while. Then I saw a video about a journal maker's thrift store haul. I HAD to try to find them and I got several of them. Bought 10 more books last week. For making journals. I like to make journals with favorite subjects for people. Music, ballet, etc. Its great for personalizing journals. Right now I'm working on 4 journals and the people they are for, are French, Irish, & Polish. So I'm using books about those countries & their history. And in those languages. They will really appreciate the personal touch. I use several online used book websites. So I put what I want on my WISH LIST and when they get that book they send me a text. I've been able to get all the books I've wanted. And they also show you similar books I can also buy. So that is helpful too. I started doing this when Covid shut stores down. And its easier and faster than looking for specific books in thrift stores. My only REAL PROBLEM is my lack of self-discipline to stop buying books!!! LOL!!! Thx for this great video. Austin,TX USA

I know what you mean about having to have some of the books shared online. I also found that by going to the various thrift stores and used book stored I have amazed a large collection.

Here's a couple of recommendations for botanical books - A Field Guide in Colour to Wild Flowers by Dietmar Aichele, illustrated by (originally published in German) - Wild Flowers of the World by Barbara Everard and Brian D Morley. Both books were published in the UK by Octopus books. Octopus also published the Oxford Book of Wildflowers and others in the same series. I had never heard of Leonard de Vries and found his collection fascinating. You might look up Robert Opie, he has a really interesting series of books featuring adverts and brand packaging. Happy book hunting. Hope you can still find some room on your shelves.

Prachtige boeken Margreth! En ook zeker een aantal bekenden die ik ook in mijn verzameling heb. Soms koop ik ook wel eens meerdere exemplaren van hetzelfde boek, bv. van Edith Holden en mijn favoriete vogel-, planten- en vlinderboeken, maar ik ben er wel mee gestopt om alles maar te willen 'bewaren voor later'. Ik laat het dan uiteindelijk achter voor mijn zoon en die zit absoluut niet te wachten op honderden oude boeken 😆, zeker niet de meer gangbare. Ik vind het gebruiken van de meeste boeken (en andere papieren) echt een stuk leuker dan het bewaren van alles. Bovendien heb ik ook niet zoveel ruimte en eigenlijk vind ik dat helemaal prima.

@marjandewith41712 жыл бұрын
@@SevenplazaCreative Knippen in boeken is ook best lastig af en toe! Maar ik zie de illustraties liever terug in journals voor mezelf of voor anderen dan dat ik ze in een kast zet waar ik ze niet snel uit zal pakken. Verder kijk ik vooral naar de illustraties en met name de illustratoren van bepaalde boeken. Edith Holden natuurlijk, Marjolein Bastin heeft een stijl waar ik erg van hou, maar ook vlinderboeken van Warnecke, E. Mansell (Thieme) en vogelboeken van John Gould en de natuurdagboeken van bijv. Beningfield, echt schitterend. Maar ook de Verkadeboeken en REBO boeken vind ik geweldig hoor. Ik ben iets minder van de vintage mensen en zo, hoewel ik het wel af en toe gebruik, maak ik het allerliefste natuurjournals. Ik zoek niet echt meer iets speciaals, maar vlinders en bloemen in boeken kijk ik altijd naar in de kringloopwinkels etc.

How long have you been collecting and junk journaling? I’ve only been doing it for a year and have amassed so many. It’s addictive. I was a teacher for 16 years so I love books. Have several Edith books from eBay $12 each. Just found one for $1.00 in my small town defunct library books. They have about 200 books left and are in our town hall. I bought 20 books. I was ecstatic.
