I like the
blank pages in the beginning to get a sense
of what it would be like to
page through her mother's
blank journals but I'm still not sure I understand why some
of the quotes and short chapters were given an entire
page.
The cost is the same at CS for either size, but I want to get a realistic comparison
of the two trim sizes at full
page count for the best «look and feel» (I've already picked the paper color by buying a
blank journal from Amazon).
