Newsflash!! A handpicked selection from the ReadyMade Range is now available to buy online - why not have a look?
The ReadyMade Range is an ever changing and evolving collection of gorgeous, useful and user friendly handmade recycled notebooks and sketchbooks. All sorts of things can end up on the cover of a notebook - from metro maps to advertising materials, textbooks or handmade papers, vintage maps or maybe a 200 year old handwritten manuscript...
Like we said, the Range is always changing, but there are several series in the Range that have a more permanent status: even though each book is still utterly individual in its own right...
Indenture Notebooks:
These notebooks are covered in vellum indentures. Indentures were legal contracts, in common use from the 15th century up until the end of the 19th century, and were drawn up for all manner of legal arrangements - including wills, mortgages, apprenticeships, sales or transfers of land. They are made from parchment, which is a sheep or goat skin that has been specially prepared for writing on.
The indentures make for a hardwearing, unique and stylish book design - and you are holding history in your hand as the indentures can date back several hundred years.

Comic Notebooks:
The comic notebooks are just that - a wide range of comics have been used to create individual covers for the books. The comics could be modern day gothic adventures, Tintin, graphic novels or vintage Flash Gordon - as ever, the range is constantly changing and can be made to order using any special comics you might wish to have turned into a book...
Map Notebooks:
The map notebooks are covered in a range of new and vintage maps - lots of OS maps, but also cycle maps, art maps, old tube maps, the list is endless...
Map books can also be made up to order, with your chosen location on the cover (There is a large stock of vintage maps in the bindery, but in case your chosen location is not in stock, it may take some extra time to find the right map for you…!) Books can also be made up using a map you might wish to provide for the cover.
Musical Score Notebooks:
These notebook covers are made using old musical scores - from beginners practice pieces for the piano to concert masterpieces...
