Creative souls want and need a special place for recording and decoding their interior world--a place to download all their creative ideas, a place to remember the events of the day, or a place to doodle, to draw, and to dream. This book is for all these people--it's an engaging and intimate glimpse into the personal pages of a wide variety of select artists and journal keepers whose works not only provide visual delight and inspiration but evidence the intensity and devotion that such personal journals invite.

First Sentence
Where to begin? Art journals are something that we create for ourselves alone-not merely a self-indulgent activity, but something worthwhile, important, and vastly creative and self-revelatory. Read the first page

This book is top of its class! This a book that you'll want to digest inside and out! It is full of inspiration, colour, techniques, and a wow factor it will just inspire you each time you open and flick through it time after time after time! I love this book, I have quite a number of books on art journals and book art and this is the winning one! You will want to dig your teeth deep into a project the moment you put this book down! Every time I flick through this book I find a new 'discovery' every single time. Go do yourself a favour now go beg, borrow or steal this book because you will need to have it! :)

I love this book. It's got a lot of great and useful information, it's beautifully visual and it really packs a lot into its pages. Since buying this book a couple of months ago, I've referrred back to it again and again. Every time I look at it I see something I hadn't seen before, which invariably sparks dozens of new ideas. Thanks for getting me out of an artistic rut, Lynne!

Its only after i read this book that i really knew that i wanted to make art journals. The pages show so many creative options and give you so much inspiration for your own work, you'll be dying to try out new ideas straight away. Its a great book, especially if like me you're really into art, and want to open up to as many new ideas as possible. Art journals are a great thing, and i will always be taking one on holiday with me where ever i go. soon i hope to travel, and i cant wait for the end result of the journals then.
A must have book. If not to work from as a guide then to give you an insight to new ideas, and the great work that many artists are involved with.

Not sketchbook but scrapbook
As I have no interest in scrap-booking I can't comment on worthiness on that subject. For a book being a collection of artists sketchbooks I can comment. It's not. Read more
