Ye gods! The paper. The beautiful paper. How could I rip this beautiful paper.

Yet I needed to see what was inside. I had already a feel & shake. Peered down the edges. Felt the flat of the back, the flat of the front - but wait - the front wasn't flat. There was a raised area running down the front. Almost like the elastic of a Moleskine... it couldn't be could it?

I carefully, considerately ripped the hell out of that beautiful paper in a flurry of mad excitement, drunk on anticipation.

Fantastic! A Moleskine! I love Moleskines & not your average notebook either. My Secret Santa had managed to find some kind of Discworld versione. It had a brilliant illustration of the Discworld on the front & a quote on the back. NICE!

5 minutes later after studying the book I looked at the Moleskine logo to see the bold letters of 'Unseen U' drawn over them in what looked like Biro. "Hold on a mo..." I quickly leapt to the computer and searched 'Discworld Moleskines' - Nothing. I picked up the book...

HOLY SHIT! The cover was hand drawn. "But it looks so professional!" Not only was it hand drawn but the bloody thing wasn't smudged. Like no smudging."What kind of magic & skillmanship was this?"

I can only assume it was the work of a master craftsman and to that craftsman I give my heartfelt thanks. Sincerely, this is probably the best gift I've received from any of my exchanges. An amalgamation of the things I love made into something unique. I can't ask for anything more than that! Bloody brilliant!

Thank you good sir!
