Anna Jameson kept a notebook for years and finally let the world read it. Her commonplace record of thoughts, memories and fancies splits in two: Part One on ethics and character, Part Two on literature and art, original reflections mixed with chosen passages and decorated with illustrations and etchings. The 1855 volume of a celebrated writer on art, thinking on paper. Borrow her margins for a while.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
