Summary: blank journal
Comment: As the other reviewers say, I was surprised to see that this is just a blank journal. I had thought it would showcase some of the author's journal, with drawings and comments. So I was pretty disappointed.
However, DO buy his books, especially "Blankets" and "Carnet du Voyage". They're amazing.

Summary: Please Read!
Comment: NOTE that this is only a Craig Thompson- designed journal, not a graphic novel by him. I failed to do my research on this, and was confused when, upon opening my my Amazon order, I saw blank pages.
However, all things besides it's a nice journal to own, especially if you are a fan of Craig Thompson. The pages inside are arranged so that when the journal is open, one page is without lines, for sketching, and one is with lines, for drawing. While the paper binding isn't so durable, this is more of a collector's item than anything I suspect.

Summary: not what i thought
Comment: i didnt realize this was a *journal* when i bought it... i have read craig thompson's other stuff, and liked it all immensely. it all has a biographical slant, so i thought this was a journal in that sense, but instead it is just a nicely packaged notebook/diary thingy. i'm kind of disappointed about that. unfortunately, can't return it because i took the sticker off alrady--maybe i will just give it to my little sister.
