Living in Utah, I have become accustomed to seeing James Christensen's art all about me. When I stumbled on this journal, it gave me a chance to combine two of my passions, his art and journal keeping. This hardbound book is just the place to record innermost thoughts. Accompanied,sometimes stimulated, by whimsical illustrations, my thoughts find a home on the pages. The binding is sturdy (but not ungainly looking), and the pages are of good quality paper...very important for a book that gets daily use. A journal to keep and savor.
