History
The book first appeared in "Gideon Rises." Showing up in Gideon's imaginings of bringing the books together. It's first actual appearance comes later in the episode, when Stan took it off the shelf in the desk attached to the controls for the portal in his secret underground laboratory and used it, along with Books 2 and 3, to complete the portal's schematics.

Pages

Appearance
Journal #1 is outwardly burgundy and has various rips and tears, most noticeably a huge piece missing in the upper right hand corner of its cover. It has two gold lines on its spine and its three remaining cover-corners are gold as well. In the center of the cover there is a gold hand with six fingers, along with the number 1 written inside. Its pages are seemingly worn and hold various page markers, similar to books 2 and 3. It also appears to be the thickest of the books, possibly because it's author hadn't been planning to split it into multiple volumes until later.

Trivia

 * This book is the most damaged of all three books.
 * It was said to be buried near the Mystery Shack, so how it ended up in Stan's possession is unknown.
