My intention with this notebook is to fill it with quotations of perhaps of wisdom the ages. This will serve a number of functions, one it will exercise my mental acuity and hand coordination as I write, allow reading material that I might learn from and a place for me to doodle around the edges of the pages (called a gloss) to decorate the contents of the book. The cover of the book is of a plastic material that at first glance one might think is leather, yet a closer look reveals it's modern structure. the latch is poorly assembled but for the price point it is definitely suitable.
