I'm enjoying the Griffin and Sabine series and love taking my time studying Bantock's art work throughout the books.

Dimensionally crossed lovers- will they meet in time?
This is the final book in the first Griffin and Sabine trilogy. The tension builds with Griffin returning to London and finding Sabine was never there, yet she claims she waited for them. Are they existing in parallel worlds, connected only by their correspondence and Sabine's visions. They work to meet and are worried by the blurring of the connection between them and a threatening figure who claims to be investigating them. I really felt for the two main characters and worried about their fate and if they would ever be able to meet in person or if they would always be separated and have only their writings to each other. The visual imagery continues to be stunning and the story keeps you on pins and needles up to the ending, which is really a beginning, starting the mystery anew for the second trilogy. While I found the conclusion not completely satisfying, it is very fitting with the story.

The last volume (for now)
This is the conclusion of the Griffin & Sabine saga. Again, we follow the story through their interchange of notes and postcards (finely inked by Nick Bantock) as they go from trying to connect to their final promise. Bantock later added another volume to the series, The Pharos Gate which amplifies the action of the last page.

Book 3 review
This was the last in a three part book of postcards between Sabine and Griffin.The art in the book is fabulous and it is a short read. One day. Can't put the book down.Some of the most impressive things are the actual envelopes with letters inserted that you must remove to read to continue with the book. At the end of this book however, everything I thought was happening was not confirmed and left me a bit concerned or confused. It had no clear ending.I loved these 3 books!!Sandie

awesome but,
i am very excited about this book. i have one complaint, there were all these hard to get off price tags obscuring the beautiful cover of the book. i used rubber alcohol and a butter knife and all is well.the bright side is it has all the letters and inserts as it said it would. another satisfied customer!

One more book in the trilogy... still a must read. Sabine's Notebook
This is the second book in the trilogy. Not as amazing as book 1 but still wonderful... read it!

Wonderful Voyeuristic Experience
This series (all three of the original books) provided intriguing thoughts about relationships in general........and the idea that I can sort of "voyeuristically" eavesdrop and read other people's correspondence is delicious. I know you will be pleased with this book and the three volume original series.

Leaves You Wanting More
First of all it's a little annoying I can't review Sabine's Notebook because Amazon considers it 'part of a set' but the feelings I had for that were pretty much the same as the first book.This is the last in the trilogy and again in trying so hard to be different and an unusual and beautiful format, the plot is seriously lacking. Again, took me ten minutes to read, and the sudden introduction of the 'villain' is a little amusing rather than scary. The book lacks depth; even the letters could be longer and more detailed.Not to spoil anything but the ending is completely random and feels like the author's attempt at fobbing off the reader as he can't be bothered to keep the stories going. Leaves you wanting more but not in a good way.Disappointed as I read so many reviews and was looking forward to this trilogy but they are just pretty to look at and flick through. Give them a try, but maybe borrow them instead of buying.

Beautiful Books
This is part of a trilogy. I read part 1 a very long time ago thinking that was that. I was thrilled to find out that there were two others written since then. These books are a treat for the reader. You get to open letters and read postcards written by the characters in the book. It is truly an intimate experience and these books are a great addition to any library and you will most likely read more than once

Stunning and Magical
I love this entire series; each book is a tactile treat, sumptuously illustrated and captivatingly written. This was a Christmas gift for my mom, who had the first book from Vancouver, and she loved it.
