Inspired by the fabled journals in which acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro records his innermost thoughts and unleashes his vivid imagination, this deluxe sketchbook is designed to spark boundless creativity in its owner. Opening with an inspirational message from del Toro, this sketchbook includes reproductions of a number of pages from his own visionary journals, before giving way to blank pages on which you can create your own unique works of art. With sturdy construction and sewn binding, this sketchbook lies flat, and the 192 blank, acid-free pages of high-quality heavy stock paper take both pen and pencil nicely to invite a flow of inspiration. Includes a ribbon placeholder, elastic enclosure, and 6.5 x 9.75-inch back pocket, perfect for holding photographs and mementos. Copyright © 2015 Guillermo del Toro
