4.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was expecting, February 23, 2005

This is a journal - 128 pages of lined paper for recording your thoughts, with Tomine's drawings scattered throughout. Some of the art appears to be copied from his previous works. The only text is on the cover:

"She read the letter again and again, oblivious to the fact that she'd missed her stop fifteen minutes ago."

5.0 out of 5 stars A great Journal, but don't pay retail or Amazon's price, March 30, 2007

I love good journals, and I love Adrian Tomine, so how could this not be a great combination? It's not too expensive as far as specialized journals go (some are far too expensive), but since some of the Amazon Marketplace seller's are offering it up for less than $3, I'd advise you go that route.

It's definitely funny that people didn't realize it was a journal. I know you're mad and all, and I kinda' feel sorry for you (because I guess I'd be pissed, also). But... it's still kinda' funny.

My girlfriend loves journals and stationary of all types, and the works of Adrian Tomine are some of the few comics she's really enjoyed (and great for my argument as comics as a legitimate literary form.)
