Welcoming Ugly Books to the Gallery
We’re excited to announce that Ugly Books are now available at Timeless Thrills. We’re starting with their Perfect Bound Mystery Three-Packs in both No. 1 and No. 2 sizes — two of their most popular formats, built to last and made to be used.
About Ugly Books
Ugly Books makes some of the most thoughtfully designed and well-crafted pocket notebooks you can find. Every detail — from the materials to the binding — speaks to their dedication to quality. Each notebook is made with super thick, acid-free, FSC-certified paper, giving every page structure and durability while keeping your work safe from bleed-through or ghosting.
The notebooks are perfect bound, featuring a clean, squared spine that’s sturdy and refined. They open flat with use, hold up to daily wear, and feel substantial in hand — the kind of book that makes you want to fill every page.
Their covers are playful and bold, ranging from bright solid tones to limited-edition colorways that celebrate personality and creative freedom. Even the packaging is mindful — biodegradable shrink wrap and environmentally responsible sourcing reflect Ugly Books’ commitment to sustainability and good design.
Why We Love Them
At Timeless Thrills, we’re drawn to creative tools that combine utility, design, and intention — items made to be used, not just admired. Ugly Books checks every box. Their Mystery Three-Packs are exactly what they sound like: you don’t know which color combinations you’re getting until you open them. It’s a small creative thrill, a reminder that art and process should stay surprising.
Whether you’re sketching, journaling, outlining ideas, or jotting notes on the go, Ugly Books handle it all. The heavy paper weight is ideal for pencils, pens, markers, and dry media, and the perfect bound construction keeps everything clean and contained no matter how much you use them.
Available Now
Ugly Books Perfect Bound Mystery Three-Packs — in both No. 1 and No. 2 sizes — are now available in the gallery. Each pack is different, each notebook its own little mystery. Come by, pick one up, and see why we’re so excited to have Ugly Books on our shelves.
