I won't write anything in it, it sold not long after I finished it.
Although I d wonder what people write in my books after they've left me.

Aw thanks. And i'd love to have someone WRITE in one of my books. People keep telling me they are afraid to "mess it up", as it's too pretty to write in. Gah!

I'd have to come up with something pretty extraordinary for a book so beautifully crafted. A tale on the inside to match the tale on the outside.

You know, that's part of (the largest part) the reason why I do books like these. In the hopes that it'll inspire someone to create that magical story that goes within it.

It'd have to be one quick story or written microscopically to fit inside that book of yours in this deviation. Short, sweet, and to the point.

Hey it's really small... Nice. Have you tried to use, instead of pig skin, calf skin? It's a bit softer.

This is exactly the perfect container to write in all the forest spells. No, the water spells. Or maybe the ingredients for usage with both water spells and forest spells?
Fabulous Work, splendid!
