Isn't it fun to try out sketchbooks? Too bad they're kind of expensive. These are a "hand*book Travelogue" and moleskine sketchbook, respectively. For pencil, I prefer the hand*book (blue one). It's also a nice square shape. The moleskine is too small for me, but it's cute.

Lost art
This is Spencerian penmanship. I sure wish I'd been taught how to write beautifully, but it was already a lost art in the 1960s. Of course, there are a few people who still do it.
Daniel T. Ames
From Ames' Guide to Self-Instruction in Practical and Artistic Penmanship, 1884. There is no biography of Ames on wikipedia!
