I just made a trip to St. Vincent DePaul. I was originally looking for games, but they didn't have any I wanted. So I browsed a little. I found this very interesting looking book. The cover is wood, with the words in an asian language stamped on the outside. (On the left). Inside the first page is a plastic leaf with letters printed on a page inside (Below).















Most of the pages are blank except for the edges (left). The first three are handwritten on (Below left for example).

It looks like it is machine made, but I can't really tell because I have no experience with these things.

Regardless, it's a curiosity and I would be interested in knowing what language is used here.
