A Life of Love, Laughter & Work—Captured in Words

The Notebook of Elbert Hubbard is a brilliant collection of thought-provoking epigrams, essays, and reflections from one of America's most distinctive literary voices of the early 20th century.

This 1927 edition, introduced by Alice Hubbard, offers readers a glimpse into Hubbard’s personal philosophy, centered around love, labor, individualism, and creativity.

Hubbard’s razor-sharp wit and poetic sensibility shine through in each entry, making this a perfect volume for daily inspiration, contemplation, or gifting to a fellow creative spirit. As the founder of the Roycroft artists’ community and a leading figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, Hubbard’s legacy lives on through these words.

Good to Know Before You Buy

Yes. Every photo on this page is the actual item you will receive. Not a stock photo, not a similar copy. What you see is what ships.

Honestly. This is vintage, so expect some age. When I find wear, writing, stains, loose pages, chips, or missing pieces, I note them and show them in the photos. Some marks add character. Some are just flaws. I tell you which is which so you can decide if this is the right one for you.

With care. Old books and fragile pieces are wrapped and boxed so they arrive the way they left me. Careful packing is one of the things buyers mention most in their reviews. Orders of $35 or more ship free.

Probably not. Everything here is one of a kind, and I rarely find the same item twice. Once it sells, it is gone. Vintage does not restock neatly.
