Book Notes Journal
No Specific Authors/Quotes

The Ultimate Gift
At Last, a Journal Especially for Serious Readers
As an
avid reader and writer I was immediately drawn to Book Notes Journal;
it inspired as surely as the spine on a leather book--one embossed
with a gold leaf title. Just as beautiful, this journal has a linen
spine (a la old libraries), an elastic band in mauve to match it
(this intended to keep the journal closed once it is full of notes
and clippings), and beautiful “bookish” fly leafs and
pastedowns
This
lovely journal features quotations from Wilde to Emerson, subtle
artwork and photos designed to please booklovers, tabs pre-marked
with the kinds of things a reader may already make notes on, like
“favorite quotes” and the handiest of all, “books
borrowed and lent.” It even has convenient pockets. The paper
quality, true to the publishers’ (Ryland and Peters), is a
joy to touch. This is a gift that could only be made more personal
with an inscription from you, and--perhaps--a recommendation or
two from your own log of favorites.
Book
Notes Journal may be purchased in bookstores or online. It
is easily found on the Web by using its ISBN (184172629X) in the
bookstore search engines. Please take the time to look up this treasure.
It is sure to touch any writer on your holiday list.
