"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train."

Product Description

"I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train."
-- Oscar Wilde

A Book Lover's Diary is a journal for noting personal discoveries from the books read and recording the books on a wish list. A Book Lover's Diary is a welcome companion during forays to libraries and bookstores when the titles of books wanted can vanish from memory.

Well-organized and practical, this book features separate sections for:

  • Books to read
  • Books read and a personal review
  • Books to buy
  • Books loaned out or borrowed
  • Favorite books
  • Memorable passages
  • Addresses of libraries and book stores

Beautifully detailed woodcuts illustrate the pages and quotations describe the joy of books and reading. By keeping track of the books read and noting their effect, this journal becomes a valuable personal history.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best looking, and also very useful, Nov 14 2001
This review is from: A Book Lover's Diary (Hardcover)
For my purposes (described in an earlier review) this is probably the most satisfactory book journal. The other book diary BookNotes was the best as a gift to a young child, in my opinion, even though it was not quite what I wanted.

I wanted a place to record all the books I read by subject, by title and by author. This has that. I wanted a journal where I could jot brief notes about books. This has that as well.
This is not however the place to go if you want to write long detailed notes about each book (for that, I would recommend a separate blank journal). Rather, use this journal as a way to record what you read and when you read. If you have highly specialized reading tastes, some of the sections might seem extraneous, but the beauty of this journal (apart from its looks) is that it allows you to customize as you please.

I think I am keeping this one for myself. One caveat - I wish that this book had a bookmark (marker) included. But I can easily stick one in myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful gift for book lovers! I love it !, May 6 2000
This review is from: A Book Lover's Diary (Hardcover)
My sister ordered this book for me for my birthday. I was so excited when I opened the package and found the wonderful pages to document my reading, copy favorite quotes, list books I loved as a child (and still do), keep track of books I want to read, and more. This simple organizer is lovely! It has numerous wonderful quotes about books and reading from various sources. I took several evenings to browse through it thoroughly. I still enjoy just looking at it. The paper is of a very high quality. The colors are minimal to prevent competition with the reader's entries. If you love reading, get your hands on this little gem to store all your favorite memories of books!

4.0 out of 5 stars Don't read this book by its cover, May 9 2002
By 
V. Simmons "trikster" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: A Book Lover's Diary (Hardcover)
This is an excellent item for a booklover to have, as detailed by other reviewers. Be careful, though-- The book is not the lucious item, with embossed title, ribbon closing, and included bookmark, that is suggested by the photo. The "photo" is actually the artwork on the cover of the real book, which is bound blank-book style.
