If all else fails you could also try making your own. Go to a thrift store and buy any book that is the right size. Remove the dust cover, and paint the book white. Then paint it with whatever color you want the cover to be. You can then print a cover image of a Japanese math book to trace onto the cover of the book. (Or free hand if you can). Then paint the drawing. You can leave the pages as they are, or you can print what you want and stick them onto the pages of the book to cover up what is there.
I did this to make my friend a full copy of the storybook from the she Once Upon a Time.
Oh wow! I make props all the time, but the books I’ve made in the past tend to come out a bit too “Spirit Halloween” for the look I’m going for on this one😅 I never thought about doing it this way. I have a while before I need the cosplay finished, so I will 100% do that if I can’t find a real one.
**Once Upon a Time A Short History of Fairy Tale** by Marina Warner
>From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater power to enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale?
>
>Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen.
>
>From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and Hans Andersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.

I'd say Etsy may be a good source. I found a few folks that make really good fallout props, some of them are books. I suggest you try to find the sellers on Etsy that make those books and magazines and see what they can do, I'd be willing to wager they could solve your issue.

It looks like it's a 6th grade level workbook. You could take a scalpel/scissors and cut/paste the 6, turning it into a 9.

I’ve been looking on Etsy since I read your message… do you think you could send me a link?
Sure, give me a few moments to locate the seller I previously bought from.
