A GUILT-FREE WAY TO CUT UP BOOKS! This category is especially for artists who create altered books, artist trading cards, ephemeral art, greeting cards, and anything else that expresses your creativity and imagination. Haunting thrift shops and garage sales searching for that "perfect-for-your-project" book or piece of ephemera can take a lot of your time. We're hoping we'll save you that time which you can then devote to being creative and having fun! These Artists' Ephemera are books whose inherent value as reading material has passed and do not fit our usual listing quality guidelines. They may be out-dated or have any amount of damage. We include ephemera in this category as well parts of books. We have selected items for this category because of their interesting or beautiful illustrations, typefaces, and text. In other words, they're not ready for the recycle bin and are just waiting for someone to give them a new life. We like to think of them as "Velveteen Rabbit" volumes and ephemera! We will provide at least one scan for each piece here. We welcome inquiries; more scans are available on a limited basis. Please understand these pieces are NOT part of our regular inventory and are NOT subject to our high standards of book rating! Please refer to “How We Rate and Describe Our Books" for more information. Please understand that we offer these pieces for your personal use only and do not guarantee any copyright information. Treasure Island Books will not be held responsible for any use by any person or persons of any of these pieces for any reason. Preparing descriptions and pictures to create the listings of each Artists' Ephemera piece takes a lot of time! We strive to keep our prices as fair as we possibly can but we must take that work into consideration. Please know that if you purchase three or more items (by listed item--a book or a set of books or ephemera) here in the Artists' Ephemera section of our website, we are open to price negotiation and, as always, shipping will be combined when multiple purchases are shipped to one address. (For more information, please see our Shipping Information.) All Artists' Ephemera pieces and sets are sold as-is; we regret we cannot accept returns or exchanges for any Artists' Ephemera pieces or sets. PLEASE NOTE: We regret that we cannot disassemble books. If you are interested in only one or a few pages or illustrations from a book, the entire book needs to be purchased. We can, however, break up sets of books. Also, if you are not interested in a book's cover, we will be happy to remove it before shipping so you will save on postage. Please understand that the original list price will still be in effect. ALL ARTISTS' EPHEMERA PIECES OR SETS ARE PRICED AS MARKED AND DO NOT INCLUDE SHIPPING. We welcome your suggestions for the kind of books and ephemera you'd like to see us offer. Please feel free to email us at info@treasureislandbooks.net. To order, please go to our Order Form or email us at info@treasureislandbooks.net. You may also give us a call at 503-566-5740. ENJOY BROWSING OUR ARTISTS' EPHEMERA CATEGORIES LISTED ABOVE! (PLEASE NOTE: Some items may be cross-referenced to more than one category.) We are working on listing all our ephemera collections as well as jewelry and ornaments Tess has made in our ETSY store. We invite you to visit our ETSY store at www.treasureislandbooks.etsy.com at your convenience. SPECIAL NOTE: We are currently experiencing intermittent technical difficulties with our scanner. We will continue to post examples of the illustrations but please understand that they many not be 100% accurate as to color quality and some may appear pixelated. Notes will be included in the individual book's or ephemera's information. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Hopefully, we'll be able to rectify the situation as soon as possible and re-scan those illustrations that are not accurate. We appreciate your understanding. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE BETTER SCANS OF ANY OF THESE BOOKS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT US! |
