First Sentence
Close observation of a single subject, whether it is as tiny as Pasteur's microbes or as great as Einstein's universe, is the kind of work that happens less and less these days. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars stunning, 29 Aug 2005
This book is absolutely stunning. It's a collection journals and notebooks from people of varying professions and interests. The book is broken down into 4 sections: observation, reflection, exploration and creation. Each section headed with introductory text with further text on the individual "journalists". The journals themselves vary widely in styles, from scribbled notes to pages that have been rigourously worked on. If you want to see some images then you should visit www.pergl.net/jennifernew. The shape of the book resembles a traditional journal, the paper is of good quality and the layout is clean and easy to enjoy. Drawing from life is truly inspirational.

5.0 out of 5 stars A grown-up book about journals/sketchbooks, 18 Sep 2008
By Sam (Cardiff, UK) - See all my reviews
This is the best book of journals I've seen - journals actually logging ideas rather than just prettified pages. Not that there isn't a place for that, but this is like getting to leaf through other artists' sketchbooks. Quite different from all the scrapbooking/journalling books.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspiration aplenty, 2 Dec 2007
By rain wildman "rain wildman" (Ross-shire, Scotland) - See all my reviews
I liked this book very much. Essentially, it is a collection of samples of the journals of a wide range of different kinds of people, some who use journals professionally, some as recreation. Therefore, the styles and contents vary widely. For me it is an invaluable source of reference material and ideas to try out in my own journals.
