Notebook

Imagine the exquisite pleasure of christening a pristine notebook with your favourite pen. It's a sensation that rivals even the most intimate of human experiences. This sentiment forms the backdrop of Tom Cox's "Notebook", a tale that begins with a peculiar misfortune: the pilfering of Cox's rucksack from a Bristol pub in 2018. Within that bag lay a journal brimming with ten months' worth of musings, one of many Cox had employed to chronicle his thoughts and observations over a twelve-year span. Though not his finest work—the penmanship was rather untidy and the entries somewhat irregular—Cox mourned the loss of every single page among the hundred-odd that vanished.

This unfortunate incident crystallised for Cox the profound significance of his notebook-keeping habit. The tactile act of pen meeting paper has consistently coaxed from him a raw, spontaneous honesty that digital mediums simply cannot replicate. In "Notebook", Cox has curated a collection of his most cherished anecdotes, snippets, reflections, and notions from his journals. These range from nostalgic childhood recollections to the astute observation that humanity can be neatly divided into two camps: those who harbour an unbridled passion for maps, and those who remain utterly indifferent to them.

The resulting compilation is a vibrant tapestry of life's genuine essence, liberally infused with Cox's signature blend of warmth and wit. It's an intimate journey through the mind of a keen observer, offering readers a chance to experience the world through his uniquely perceptive lens.
