We just LOVE doing custom orders as it saves the trouble of finding the book/s. (( Which is considerably more challenging that you might imagine. )) Please send any book that you'd like journal-ized to us at the address above with a whopping $11 per book. (( Check or well concealed cash. $12 dollars if using paypal to cover the service charge )) We'll do all the rest. We typically include (( and recommend you do, too. )) The first few pages of text (( including frontispiece, dedications, title pages )) The last few pages of book text and two or three short sections from the middle of the book. Please mark the three sections (( two or three sheets each )) that you'd like included from the middle of the book with post it notes or dog-ears. Easy-peasy.
contact us: if you have any inquiries or questions about your order please get in touch with us, and we’ll try and answer you right away:

frequently asked questions about ex libris and our journals:
Are you the proud owner of a brick and mortar store located anywhere within the confines of planet earth? Yes, yes you may. Please drop us a line with your stores information and we'll send you an email with all the details. jacob@bookjournals.com
Unless you upgrade to priority mail (( 2-3 days, typically, within the united states )) our default shipping method is the slightly poky but effective USPS Media mail service. 7-10 days to all but the most remote US locations.
That's a big (( but pretty unusual! )) problem. Drop us a line and we'll sort it out. Tracking is NOT available, alas, on media mail but we can always find some solution that will work out. Promise.
This task is so time consuming and exhausting that it almost defies description. We source our books from a wide variety of places including thrift stores, garage sales, book stores, library sales, municipal sources, private collections and school districts far and wide. I see places that would erode even the most stalwart book lovers sentimentality in my travels and always emerge pleased to save some small percentage of books from their fate.
I'm glad that you asked. Yes, as a matter of fact. Come visit us Monday through Friday from 11am to 6pm at Portland's smallest and most specific retail store: 4185 SE Division St Portland, Or 97202.
