The Book of Fictional Days
a collection of events that did not really happen
 
The Book of Fictional Days is a weekly desk diary. Every day contains a fictional event from a book, movie, or even a song. There is plenty of room to keep track of the real events in your life. The facing pages contain illustrations of a literary personage by artist Barry Moser.
