1000 Journals Project: The Book

We here at the Modern Letter Project HQ are pretty enthusiastic about the 1000 Journals Project, described as:

an ongoing collaborative experiment attempting to follow 1000 journals throughout their travels. The goal is to provide a method for interaction and shared creativity among friends and strangers.

With similar goals for interaction and shared creativity here at MLP, we were excited to see the recent release of the 1000 Journals Project book, published by Chronicle Books.

Featuring 212 colored pages--a compilation of the best selections from journals that have traveled the world over--the book includes personal stories, from humorous-to-tear jerking, tactile thread-stitched pages, maps, and diagrams.

To read more about the 1000 Journals Project, you can visit their "about" page, look at more pictures of the new book online, buy the book at Amazon, or join the latest version of the project, 1001 Journals.

Reminder!
We're halfway through June, so if you haven't sent your June letter out yet, this is a great weekend to relax outside and get writing. Remember to upload your photos to Modern Letter Project Flickr Pool and to send us your stories!
