My initial understanding of what this book would be was that it would be some sort of art-world magazine or annual, since the title has the word "journal" in it.
But it's really more like a guide to techniques for people who want to make art scrapbooks with a very rough-and-ready aesthetic. If the journals of Peter Beard, the famous explorer, bon vivant, and super-handsome-dude, appeal to you, then this is a book that will appeal to you and assist you.
The aesthetic of the book itself is very crafts-publication, very build-your-own-treehouse.
I had friends in high school who did all sorts of wild artworks with all sorts of wild, self-taught techniques. Maybe a publication like this would have helped them in their daily rounds of wild creativity.
