Hobonichi A5 Cousin Avec 2027 (Japanese): 2 Book Set

The Avec is the Cousin split in half: the same full A5 page a day, issued as two books, January to June and July to December. Each volume is 10 mm thick against the single book's 18 and weighs 260 g against 445, which is the difference between a book you carry and a book you leave on the desk.

It suits anyone who pastes into their techo, since a book that starts thin has room to take clippings and photographs without splitting by autumn. The first volume is lime yellow, the second ice blue, and both fit the ordinary Cousin-size covers.
