these are all good answers and will help but i think if you really want to put the effort in to make it look old go to the store and buy some resume stock paper, something like parchment, then use the techniques listed in the other answers to age them more!. do this BEFORE you copy your text onto the paper (or the ink will run and smear) then take it to Kinko's or somewhere to have holes punched!. bind it with with leather thongs or free rings instead of a binder!. then just recopy your text into it!. use brown or greenish ink to make it look older!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

While the posters here have very good suggestions, you might want to take your question to the religious portion of Y!A, or even some place such as Mind-N-Magick Forums, where you can post as a guest on one of their boards and leave when you have your answer!.

I do hope you make a book to your liking!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Crumple them slightly, it gives it a wrinkled old-ish kind of look!.

Hold a lighter to the paper, not to close where it will catch the paper on fire, just enough to burn it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

smear a wet tea bag over them, and CAREFULLY burn the edges (under adult supervision if needed)!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
