RubricationYes
Rubrication noteThe book is consistently rubricated with red and blue initials and paraphs from start to finish. In addition, in the first half of the book the first letter of each sentence is coloured in with light brown ink. Approximately half way through the book, the first letters of each sentence briefly start to be coloured in red rather than light brown for a few pages. From this point onwards, the first letters of each sentence are not rubricated at all.
