Review :Mini Book Gashapon Popular Stationery Mook Collection

Mooks are a popular item found in Japanese book stores. The word is a combination of Magazine and Book. They usually come with a fairly luxurious supplement which is the main reason why people buy them.

Recently, miniatures of the popular stationery series from Takarajimasha's Mook book has been released. Since we are interested in all things stationery, we had to pick one up for a look.
Here's what we got:
A miniature version of the "Croquis Book" A4 Multi-Case MOOK

Like the original mook, it comes with a box that contains the extra as well as a thin book detailing the history of the product and other information.
The tiny book actually contains the same pages as the original item!

Unfortuantely, the special extra which is an "A4 multi-case" from the real size mook has not been reproduced. Instead we get a plastic reproduction that does not open up.
However, it looks just like a croquis book and features cute cat illustrations by popular illustrator Midori Asano. [like the original]

Here is the full lineup.

As someone who loves miniatures and stationery, I bought it almost immediately.
I look forward to buying the rest of the collection.
What do you think?
