Format:Hardcover
Yes,this is the book I've been waiting for!
It's full of good ideas and gives constructive help with techniques,design and presentation without being proscriptive.
It is clearly written by an artist and generously presents the work of other artists so that the reader has a privileged view of pages created by other journal-keepers.
The photograhic illustrations are very helpful in suggesting appropriate media and showing how the artist has used this in decorating the page.
This is the book for anyone wanting to make altered books and decorated pages and retain their own degree of individuality.
They are not pages to copy (Thank goodness!), but they certainly point in the direction of creative expression.
This book will be very useful for anyone who keeps a sketchbook and wants to lift it to a more exciting level.

Format:Paperback
This is simply the most inspiring book I've seen in ages. It is beautifully presented with tips and techniques on how to create journal pages. Lots of photographs help inspire you with ideas of your own and gallery examples of new and old journals are interesting and helpful. All the techniques described are easy to follow and not couched in artistic language that you would need an art degree to understand. Artist or not this will lead you on to better and brighter journalling!

Format:Paperback
This is a good Journal book probably more so for the artist who keeps a diary, it's probably not as much for the mixed media artist who likes to use found objects, it's more for the sketcher although saying that is shows some good ideas for background pages, and other experiments. It shows some lovely ideas if you wanted to keep a journal or diary on your travels. This book I feel is a good book to show students the idea and examples of sketch books and art journals.
