== Version Two Introduction ==


'''Myke Hurley:''' I technically it's called the second edition, but I find myself like flipping between version two and second edition. OK, almost interchangeably. It says the same thing, you know.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' OK, OK. So just to lead into this conversation and settle you down a little bit before we break this thing down from from cover to cover, there's nothing I miss from version one and version two.

'''Myke Hurley:''' All right. I can take that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Right. So there's nothing that I go, oh, here's version two. This was different in version one and I wish it was that way.

'''Myke Hurley:''' OK.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' OK. There's nothing there. There's not one thing. Version one can just go away. I can file it and I am like completely content with what I have presented in front of me.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Would choose to present that as this is better in every single way. But you said it in a very specific way. So I don't know if I technically mean that.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, no, no. Yeah. I mean, I technically do. But I did say it specifically. Right. OK. So it's visually and physically different. You know, you know, in a shop window is a passerby going to go, oh, look at the vast changes between these two notebooks. No, clearly not. Right. But someone such as myself, like the moment you touch it and pick it up, you go, these are completely different notebooks. Yeah. Right. So the second edition is better physically in format, finish, style, accoutrement. Every way I would prefer this products be the way I use the product. Right. It doesn't necessarily travel with me, even though like that's kind of a misnomer this past year. Right. We none of us traveled anywhere. So, you know, it's it's mostly a desk book for me. So I'm good with like everything that this gives me for that. The cover material is different. What's the difference in the cover? Can you just break down the design differences a little real quick and tell me what we have here? So the.

'''Myke Hurley:''' It's about a five size. Nothing's truly a five size.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Let's let's start. I'm going to just go ahead and stop you right there, because one of my questions is what is the measurements of this book? And you're just going with it's sort of your. No, the answer is it's a five ish.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah, I think I actually I don't know them offhand, but I do believe that I have the measurements.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Somewhere.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So that's the like if there's anything we're going to fight on. That would be that would be the one thing we fight on.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I believe one hundred and thirty five by one ninety five millimeters. So five point three by seven point six inches.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' OK, so you're a little bit short in the long from a traditional A5, which is fine. Like it looks like an A5 notebook. I put my Midori up against it that I'm using as my notebook and they they essentially match. Like it's not it's not that far off. It's I should say semantics, but it's personality.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You know, I went for personality. That's in the shape. So it's basically a five. Yeah.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' But, you know, my I just want to make sure my stance is crystal clear. Yep. On this. It should be for real. A five. But I understand.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That might be something that I change in the future, but probably not. Yeah. The cover is a polyurethane leather.
