There is an accompanying notebook, blank, but with columns for No., Length, Girth, Contents and Cost.
Appraisal, destruction and scheduling
It is debatable whether the notebook is worth keeping as it is damaged and blank, with no known context as to who owned it. Kept at present in case it affects the interpretation of the Pocket Companion.
