I just rescued this wonderful vintage book from a local book fair!
Original Vintage Cover Boards - "Scout Field Book - Boy Scouts of America"
Not a reprint!

The interior cover pages have been removed - the boards have been sanded down to the original book board - and the pages replaced with a brown colored paper. (The original interior covers were aged and worn). The boards have been hand cut and hand sanded with the corners rounded. The book board edges have been hand painted to match the cover and sealed.

Interior:
Strathmore Cream Colored Drawing Paper - 80 lb
Hand cut and hand folded.

86 pages
172 pages (counting both sides)

The first and last interior pages are a light brown colored Canson paper. The signatures (groups of paper) each have small light brown spacers (1/2") - to create the brown color on the spine.

The journal has been hand sewn with mustard yellow colored linen thread - using a french link stitch - onto dark brown leather straps. The board underneath the leather straps has been carved away and the leather has been adhered to the cover and stitched with an "x" in matching linen thread.

Please note: This cover shows slight signs of wear from its previous life. This feature only enhances the recycled and vintage nature of this journal.
