Handbound notebook with dollar bill covers

200801251448


Kate Black made this notebook. She has just one for sale on Etsy for $24. It's called "The Dollar's In The Shitter.

The US Dollar is worth so little now, it's cheaper to bind books with banknotes than art papers.

This book is made with two 1 dollar bills, actual US currency.

The interior covers and spine reinforcements are emerald green batiked paper.

The textblock is made from 60lb, bright white drawing paper. The paper has a good amount of tooth and can handle ink, pencil and many other media.

– 5.5" x 2.125" (14 cm x 5.5 cm)

– 140 pages.

– Bound with forest green waxed Irish linen thread.

This book opens completely flat, for ease of use.
