Illuminated Journal Guide: A Life in Hand by Hinchman Hannah | Peregrine Smith Books | Creative Writing & Art Journaling for Self-Expression & Mindfulness

I love this book! It's a treasure trove of great advice and inspiration. I read it on kindle, and I liked it so much I bought a physical copy for my personal library. I know I'll revisit it often. Even as I was reading, I kept flipping back to previous passages I found instructive or inspiring. The sections on writing are really useful and easily actionable. I came away with a lot of approaches to try. The art instruction is basic. It's less of a drawing guide and more of an encouragement to add drawings to your writing because the two together can be so dynamic and rewarding.A note on the kindle version vs. the print version: In the kindle version all the drawings and paintings are rendered well, and on a phone or tablet, you can tap to enlarge them (unlike some kindle books that are scanned as a PDF). The writing on the example journal pages is readable except at the end of the book where there were several watercolor journal pages included. I found some of the text on those last few pages too pixelated to read. The paperback version of those pages is even harder to read though. Anyone wanting to buy the kindle version need not worry their getting lesser quality images. For those wanting a paperback version (I found a few used books online), it is nice to be able to quickly flip through for inspiration or get to a particular section with ease. I can confidently say both versions of the book are equally worth it.
