Commonplace books are essentially scrapbooks filled with items of every kind: recipes, quotes, letters, poems, tables of weights and measures, proverbs, and prayers. Paper Prayers – A Commonplace Book is a collection of some favorite quotes, both old and new, from many years ago and ones I still reach for today for inspiration or solace, for guidance or reassurance. I hope you enjoy this issue of MANIFEST (zine) — maybe you will find something to copy into your own commonplace book!
