Editorial notes
About Amber Shelf Journal
Amber Shelf Journal explores the ordinary pleasures and practical details of a thoughtful reading life.
What you will find here
Six notes about reading habits, useful annotations, book stacks and giving a familiar book another chance. Our first collection contains six original notes, a practical reference and a small companion tool. The ideas are meant to be tried and adapted, with room for ordinary materials and an unhurried afternoon.
How we make the journal
Articles are written for this independent editorial project. Illustrations are original vector drawings made for this collection. They show the subject rather than documenting a particular place, person or commercial product. We do not publish paid reviews, customer testimonials or product sales.
