There’s no better time than when travelling to jot down your thoughts and experiences, and this journal is the perfect traveller’s companion. 50 elegantly tinted maps, showing the whole world, are ready for your annotations, explorations or reminiscences: as they are printed on uncoated paper stock, you can write or draw over them as you desire.There are political, relief and feature maps of every territory, and the back of the book also contains a handy reference with useful travel facts including time zones, weather, immunisation and voltage differences. The unique selling point of this journal is the maps. Carefully laid out and tinted so as to be elegant and unobtrusive, yet still practical, they cover the whole world, in three variants: political, relief, and river & coastline.To increase the journal’s appeal as a gift item, every aspect of the finish is carefully considered: the notebook pages are on 100gsm Superior Ivory Woodfree stock, with the 16 pages of information on 100gsm Chen Ming Yung Woodfree. A gussetted pocket at the back serves as perfect storage for mementoes, and the blind-embossed case and satin-finished ribbon marker enhance the feeling of quality.
