From 1967 onwards, entries were initially written into notebooks 1-5 (B1.3.1-5), with page numbering starting at number 1-250. Thereafter, from B1.2.6 onwards entries have been made on individuals pages, with numbering starting at 251. Notebooks now complement the individual pages for entries during travel.
