DO NOT REMOVE THE BINDER CLIPS.

DO NOT LOOK AHEAD IN THIS JOURNAL.

DO NOT TURN SO MUCH AS THE CORNER OF A SINGLE PAGE WITHOUT FIRST READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY.

This journal is like absolutely nothing you have ever had before. It looks old because it IS old. It looks valuable because it IS valuable. It's not just something to write in, it's an opportunity.

You only get one shot at this, and if you don't do EXACTLY as I say, you're going to have to live with the failure for the rest of your life... And a lot of lives are riding on you getting this RIGHT, so DO. NOT. MESS. THIS. UP!
