Like our regular but not quite perfect. Our printer sent us copies of this book with some cosmetic defects on the interior pages.

They're still perfectly usable guest books, but not up to our stringent product standards. Rather than putting them right into a landfill, we're offering them at discount so they can still have a life out in the world.

These are clearance items and FINAL SALE (not eligible for return/exchange). If you want a defect-free copy, visit our regular instead.

This book is designed to be a self-sustaining memoir of the good times you've had while hosting friends and family. With 40 distinct writing and drawing prompts on high-quality paper, this thoughtfully composed guest book invites your visitors to leave a personalized memento about their time visiting you. It's a great way to fill a lull in conversation or give your guests something to do while you are preparing food or mixing drinks.

This unique guest book will help you feel close to loved ones when you're far apart and remind you of your favorite moments hosting for years to come. If you love entertaining friends and family, this book is a must-have. It also makes a perfect housewarming gift or wedding gift.

Why you need it:

• Helps your guests actually leave a note or doodle of substance about time they spent with you. The creative prompts inside are there to help them craft the perfect message or drawing without getting stuck on what they should write or doodle.
• Gives your visitors an activity to do while you're busy making food or drinks, also ideal for filling a lull in conversation.
• It makes a meaningful memento of time you spent hosting your loved ones, perfect for feeling close to your people when you miss them, or feeling loved on days you feel gloomy.
• Stylish cover art means it looks great on a coffee table or book shelf. A book that doubles as a decor item? Yes please! We put a lot of thought into designing something that has classic flair and looks great in any living space. We took cues from design movements that have stood the test of time, including mid-century modern and art deco, to craft a celebratory cover that complements a variety of aesthetics from maximalist to contemporary.

The inspiration behind the product:

We created our first guest book years ago with a blank journal. Every time someone came to visit us we asked them to write a haiku about their visit or draw a self portrait. Nearly two decades later we have a treasured collection of drawings and haikus that make us smile every time we flip through.

When two friends visited us at the end 2022 they commented that they wished they had a book like this in their home and loved the idea of giving visitors prompts to leave a message about their visit. That conversation got me thinking about how we could design a guest book for them and anyone else looking to commemorate their time hosting friends and family.
