Think of it as being able to shop from someone’s highly curated personal library. Celebrating the written word, Brown Bag Books has been serving up local and internationally sourced, second hand books, in and around southern California since 2004.

The ultimate in repurposing. Made at our factory in Running Springs, California, our rescued books journals add to our eco-friendly business model by taking ‘forgotten’ books and creating unique, one of a kind, spiral bound journals for writers, artists, and chroniclers. Our journals have been made from old, funky, found books. Selected and saved from the recycle bins of libraries, thrift stores, garages, and anywhere else we discover them, each of these sturdy journals is a unique, one of a kind find, and made with the environment in mind.
