Here's an interesting travel book series from Belgian publisher Morton, Diaz & Cook that I stumbled upon yesterday. There are currently five titles in The Globetrotter's LogBook series, with a 6th promised to be on the way soon. These stylish souvenir books are meant to be used as journals for recording specific trip information -- details on countries of the world, or notes about vaccination and flight records.

But what makes these books special is that they are all a mixture of content and creative space -- facts and figures for the traveler are interspersed with blank space to allow for stamps, stickers or personal journey jottings.

The publisher's most recent title marks a new direction for the series. It is the first one to focus on a particular region of the world -- Produced in collaboration with the Flemish Tourist Office, Flander's Six Divine Cities is a guidebook and traveler notebook dedicated to Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Leuven and Mechelen. Peppered with maps and color photos, this latest book presents an "at a glance" perspective for 118 sites in the Flanders region. And one corner of each page is reserved for traveler scribbles - memories and moments can be captured and recorded with ease, creating an organically evolving guidebook experience.
