This Is… used to be called Invisible Rhino, eh? But because there are no invisible rhinos in the
entire book, the title has been revamped.. But there is life? Well, with the aid of a lot of huge and small corporations, I have recycled a bit of this and that. This book has eight signatures of four pages each for a total of about 128 blank pages.
Included are three cords that keep the notebook closed - two cords circumnavigate the tome while one just leaps over the front edge and wraps itself around the pink button.
What’s the purpose? Keep it closed? I think I need one for my mouth. Actually, my last book was

This book has three cords - two wrap around the whole book while one is content with just flipping over the front edge. These two buttons are what the cords will wrap around once they circumnavigate the book. Both the coffee boast and the ‘ECO’ (Enron Company Officer?) are from a McDonald’s takeout bag, hence the existence of half the easily if not readily identifiable ‘M’.
