Here, The Queen's Conjuror: The Life and Magic of Dr. Dee by Benjamin Woolley.
Part precision, part magical curiosity; all desirable. The three-part unfolding nature of this book; double front cover in black leather with hiding place; black and white papers, speckled grey on a handmade deckle edge; secret pockets, nets and hidden places; the crinkling sound of crumpling tissue, the pentangle with the black chain; a strange reflecting seeing, the little transparent bag filled with stars, and the odd manner in which one hanging thread seeks the cover.
Incantation included.
Tell me your favourite book, and I make your personal notebook to match.

Anatomy, dissection, and your muscular skeleton
How much am I loving making this set? How MUCH? To the ends of the earth and lose the measure, that's how much.
