Absolutely Stunning Book. Beautiful Stickers and Gorgeous Quality!
This is not just a sticker book, it’s a work of art in and of itself. I knew it would be a good book and have that luxury book feel (I know you know what I mean lol) but even then I was still impressed by how beautifully made it is.The cover has a vintage, ornate design that feels like it came straight out of a Victorian library, and the book has this chunky, substantial weight that makes it feel so good. It’s the kind of book that feels amazing to hold and flip through just to admire te art on each page!Inside, the stickers are really well thought out. The colours are rich, vibrant, and printed with so much detail that they almost look like miniature pieces of art. While not every single design is 100% my style (some I do find a little odd lol), every sticker is clearly high quality and thoughtfully curated. The variety is fantastic, with everything from floral designs and vintage illustrations to whimsical and quirky elements so there’s something for every mood or project.This is the type of book that you’ll treasure even if you don’t use the stickers straight away. Mine is currently stored/displayed on my bookshelf! I still flip through it just to admire the designs and enjoy the tactile feel of the book. Sounds weird but if you get one you will see exactly what I mean lol.It’s perfect for journaling, scrapbooking, letters, or simply collecting something truly beautiful. If you love stationery or anything vintage-inspired, you will not regret this purchase.Definitely recommended!

Amazing sticker book. Wonderfully quirky.
This book is absolutely packed with amazing stickers, covering all kinds of subjects and all taken from old Victorian/Edwardian type illustrations. Some are pretty, some are spooky, there are animals, all kinds of people both real and mythical, beautiful botanicals, and lots are just very different and fun. I send out a lot of post so these will look fantastic on envelopes, parcels and gift wrapping. Absolutely a five star book, I got it for a lot less than the RRP, well worth it. The only downside now is I don't want to use them as they're so pretty.Can't rate this highly enough, and am adding the second in the series to my Wish List immediately.

Lovely to look at.
This book is too good to use the stickers. I just look at them. Some have given me ideas for cross stitiching.

Huge Selection of aletrnative/quirky stickers
I have just received this book, and I don't often write reviews, so the fact I have says something about how blown away I am.There is a massive variety of images, from floral, wildlife, and oceanic to quirky, dark, and gothic. These are perfect for my mixed media art, journalling, and upcycling projects. If you are looking for mainstream cutesy images, this is probably not for you. If you like Gothic/Steampunk and alternative mixed with some shabby chic, I cannot recommend it highly enough.I don't understand why some reviews say these are not stickers, they most definitely are!

The Wonderful Antiquarian Sticker Book
This book is beautiful. It is a joy to use and it's very hard to use the stickers, they are so gorgeous. When they have all been used, I intend to keep the book and replace the stickers with others I already have to keep them safe and clean. I have been making some calendars with the stickers which I am enjoying and the stickers are so varied in style, they will appeal to all tastes. The stickers peel off very easily, though care needs to be taken with the larger ones as they could easily be torn as they are quite delicate. I am really pleased with this book, it's gorgeous and well worth the money.

Not very sticky
Let me start by saying that I absolutely love this book! A thick hardback book, that is beautifully decorated. The inside cover is vibrant swirly patterns with decorative pages between stickers. The stickers are a mix of oddity, cabinets of curiosity, medieval folly, macarbe, fairytale, 1700s, and general jauntiness! There's animals, bugs, flowers and a whole heap that don't make sense lol. I adore it's quirkiness, especially for scrapbooking. My only gripes are: the stickers are not very sticky. I find I have to glue them down. Not a major problem, but if I buy a sticker book, I expect them to stick well. Secondly, when you peel the stickers off they have a border outline around them, so I find myself cutting it off so it blends in with my theme I'm doing. It's a bit of a nuisence, but not enough to put me off, however, would look better without the border. Other than those small gripes, I'm definitely buying the 3rd edition as already have the 2nd. It truly is a wonderful book and I actually hate having to use it!

Not just any sticker book , its an incredible sticker book !
Stickers with a difference, all sizes and something for every occasion. Well, I say that, its such a beautiful book I am really loathe to use any of the stickers ! I purchased this for my sisters Christmas gift, not knowing what to get her but she loves stationary; it was so nice I ordered one for myself too. My sister said it was her best present ever.
