Don't miss The Pharos Gate, the final volume in the Griffin & Sabine story. Published simultaneously with the 25th-anniversary edition of Griffin & Sabine, the book finally shares what happened to the lovers.

Griffin—Foolish man. You cannot turn me into a phantom because you are frightened. You do not dismiss a muse at a whim. If you will not join me, then I will come to you. —Sabine

Sabine was supposed to be imaginary, a friend and lover that Griffin had created to soothe his loneliness. But she threatens to become embodied, to appear on his doorstep, in fact. So he runs.

Griffin & Sabine, the most creative and talked-about bestseller of 1991, left readers on the edge of a precipice. With Sabine's Notebook, they begin—along with Griffin—the fall. Once again, the story is told through strangely beautiful postcards and richly decorated letters that must actually be pulled from their envelopes to be read. But this volume is also a sketchbook and diary kept by the possibly unreal Sabine, who is living in Griffin's house in London while he wanders through Europe, North Africa, and Asia, backwards through layers of ancient civilizations—and of himself.

Filled with her delicately macabre drawings and notations, the notebook adds a darker element of visual intrigue to their complex and mysterious world. For the thousands who finished Griffin & Sabine and asked, "What happened next?," this second volume in the quartet provides the answers—but raises new and even more haunting questions of its own.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Devotees of Bantock's enigmatic bestseller, Griffin & Sabine , won't be disappointed by this equally intriguing and perplexing--and equally gorgeous--sequel. London artist Griffin Moss and islander Sabine Strohem, who have never met face-to-face or spoken via phone, exchange hand-illustrated, handwritten letters and postcards--ostensibly reproduced here, tucked into envelopes and removable for reading. As this installment opens, Griffin, frightened by his psychic connection to his otherworldly correspondent, flees England on a night sea journey from Italy to Japan and Australia. He leaves a letter for Sabine, urging her to stay in his abandoned studio. Winter turns to summer and Griffin's courage overcomes his trepidation; still, Sabine warns him to "be . . . cautious; the eye of the storm is a deceptive place." Griffin's initial distress and progressively optimistic outlook shine through his paintings. Sabine's cryptic visual messages seem tinged with mysticism and, possibly, malevolence. Perhaps because it has been established in the previous book, the couple's supernatural bond is less of a focus here, and at times, his art and hers are a touch too similar. Nevertheless, Bantock's distinctive premise continues to puzzle and delight, the wonderful stationery has an authentic look and, not surprisingly, the finale leaves room for another chapter. Author tour.

Like Griffin and Sabine, Sabine's Notebook doesn't disappoint me with the postcards and letters. When I read Nick Bantock's works, they bring forth excitement and anticipation. I close my eyes and imagine sitting on the floor of an attic opening a treasure-trove of history. Sabine's Notebook took me on a journey of emotional reactions towards Griffin's "emotionally unavailable" behavior as well as Sabine's mysterious aura and never ending of kindness and patience. In the end it left me perplexed and parched and in need to quench my thirst, eagerly ready to read the next saga of Griffin and Sabine - "The Golden Mean".

I decided I could take a chance on a book for 77 cents (that's correct, 77 cents) plus 3.95 shipping. I hadn't been able to find this new anywhere without paying a ridiculous price. Wanted it to complete my trilogy. It took a little longer to receive (probably around 10 days), but worth the wait and the price! So surprised that the book advertised as Very Good Condition, was, in my view, Excellent!

The book "Sabine's Notebook" is fabulous. I ordered the complete set(6)from different merchants. No problems - rapid shipping and received as described brand new. The "Extraordinary Correspondence of Griffin & Sabine" is something one should have in their personal library. If you don't have the collection buy them. If you do have the collection treasure them. I purchased the first book in the collection "Griffin and Sabine" and someone stole it from me. So I am so very happy that I was able to purchase it again, before it became extinct or no longer in print. I will treasure this collection and keep a third eye on them this time. Lov'n it....

In the second of the Griffin and Sabine stories, we find Sabine having travelled from her island in the South Pacific to London in order to finally meet Griffin whom she had been waiting to meet for many years. Griffin unfortunately had already picked up and left London to travel the world assuming that he would never see Sabine and never be able to realize fully the love he had for her. The book is then filled with the correspondence between Sabine who is writing from Griffin's home and Griffin who receives the letters at various points along his journey. A great ending that lends added sadness to the storyline that you will not want to miss!

This book is the 2nd book in the Griffin & Sabine series. It starts with his inviting her use his apartment (if she exists) and ends with his return to his apartment to find it empty but with a note asking him why he never returned. Of course the story is told through the brilliant art of Nick Bantock's collection of letters and postcards. Settle in.

This book is amazing! It is beautiful to look at - never want to share it for fear it won't come back! It is so much fun to read the letters and open them. And most of all, it makes one use their brain to decide what is real and what might not be and how on earth the story will end! Which means of course, every book has to be purchased because there has to be an ending at some point. Without the last book, it is impossible to guess!!! HIGHLY recommended series.

I loved the first book "Griffin & Sabine", and despite the cliffhanger, I never knew it had a sequel (let alone five sequels!). It made perfect sense to me as a stand alone. But "Sabine's Notebook" is the perfect continuation of their story.
In "Sabine's Notebook", their relationship develops. While Griffin travels the world, trying to find himself, Sabine becomes a wonderfully safe haven of support and wise, kind words. I loved seeing how she grew from a strange, almost menacing threat to a wonderfully understanding partner. She is the woman Griffin has always needed. She is exactly what his life was still missing. They are one of the most convincing couples in fiction.

The end, however, is twice the mindf*ck we encountered int he first book. You never know what's real and what isn't. If you loved Griffin & Sabine Book 1, you'll devour Book 2 and immediately move on to Book 3.
