Use this beautiful modern-day commonplace book as a focused "thought journal" to collect ideas, observations, knowledge, and more—for present-day reflection and future inspiration.
The Commonplace Book is a beautiful modern-day 'commonplace book' that can be used as a focused thought journal to collect ideas, observations, knowledge, and more — for present-day reflection and future inspiration.
A commonplace book is a kind of diary of miscellany — an autobiography of the mind — that's been used since the Middle Ages. These books were kept by notable figures such as Leonardo da Vinci and Virginia Woolf, and now the practice is once again gaining popularity. These intellectual scrapbooks can contain a variety of entries, from quotes, excerpts, and poems to prayers, recipes, and memorabilia.
Featuring a blank table of contents at the front for cataloguing entries over time, The Commonplace Book also includes a brief introduction, numbered pages, and a customisable index at the back. Readers can use this book to create their own personalised encyclopedia — a unique, physical manifestation of their interests and passions.
