A ''blank'' book full of tips and
inspiration for keeping a nature
journal. The left-hand
pages have ghosted-back lines
for those who prefer a sense
of structure. The right-hand
pages are left blank for
sketching or writing.
Short quotes and exercises to
help guide the journaling
process are scattered throughout.
At the back of the journal
is the author's mini-field
guide, packed with essential
info on how to recognize
(and draw) basic families of
birds, insects, and trees.
An elastic band keeps paper
from flapping while writing,
holds specimens, and acts as a
bookmark. A very rugged journal!
