HOLIDAY DEADLINES: For U.S. delivery of a custom notebook, order by December 1. (We can't control the carriers and therefore can't guarantee delivery, but will do absolutely everything in our power to get it to you by December 24th!)

Carry your favorites with you all the time, so everyone can see them! It makes a great conversation starter.

All you have to do is choose a softcover, spiralbound, or hardcover notebook, then choose blank pages, lined ones, or pages with a dotted grid (please see the photos for examples). Then pick your favorite books from our list using the search field above. You can also browse the full book list here.

You can also enter text for the back cover of any notebook, describing what's in it, or dedicating it to someone you're giving it to. For the hardcover and softcover notebooks you can also enter a short bit of text for the spine. Please see the photos for examples.

PLEASE NOTE: Usually about 15 to 18 books fit best on a notebook (meaning they will be large enough for the titles to be legible, etc.), if they are normal contemporary novels. If you're picking thin children's picture books instead, then choose the full 20 books, and if they are thick epic novels from the 1800s, probably 12 is plenty.
  • Thick 70 lb. / 100 gsm premium recycled paper inside
  • 144 pages in the softcover and hardcover layflats, and 120 pages in the spiralbound
  • Soft-touch covers are laminated
  • Hardcover has durable, library-quality binding
  • Based on original work by Jane Mount                       
Please see the tabs below for more details on lead time and more!

PLEASE NOTE: In the field for "Name or initials of the Book Picker", please enter the name or initials of the person whose favorite books those are. It is just for Jane's naming convention and won't appear anywhere on the notebook.

Lead Time & Production

Custom notebooks are designed by Jane and printed on demand by Denik, and usually take 2-3 weeks to ship, and if you add a book(s), that can add up to a week. But let us know if you have a specific deadline you're hoping to meet and we'll try our best to make it happen!

Style Options

The spiral and softcover notebooks include space for entering contact information on the inside front cover, and a blank stack of books you can fill on on the back inside cover.

Book Orientation and Arrangement

On notebooks the books fit best stacked on top of each other (instead of lined up next to each other), perhaps with a few on the sides leaning against the stack, depending on how many you choose. Jane will use the editions of books (if there are multiple possibilities) that look best together, and will arrange them in the most aesthetically pleasing way. If you would like Jane to use a particular edition of a book you have seen in another one of her prints, please describe the spine AND tell us which print you saw it in.

Gift Certificates & Other Options

If the notebook will be a gift and you would rather let the recipient pick their own favorite books, you can purchase a Gift Card for a Custom Notebook instead.

Jane can also make an archival print, a mug, a phone case, a tea towel, or a tote of your favorites, please see here for all the options.

Love this shop!

I have ordered several items from Ideal Bookshelf. I had two totes made as gifts and both “giftees” ” loved them. Then I bought two spiral notebooks for myself and they’re wonderful. Clever, personal and unique!
