Leather Journal Book Medieval Stone Embossed Handmade Book of Shadows Vintage Notebook Office Diary College Book Poetry Book Sketch Book 10 x 7 Inches - Gift for Women & Men

The book is perfect! The craftsmanship and the materials used are beautiful, including the lapis stones.BUT, I gave it 4 stars because whoever made it wrote THREE LARGE digit numbers followed by a hyphen with a BLUE INK PEN on the inside of the flap.I tried scraping off the numbers. DIDN’T workI used 90% rubbing alcohol. DIDN’T workI used fingernail polish. DIDN’T workTHEN I used Goof Off. see photoThere’s still an ever-so light hint of blue remaining. I hoped the brown circle stain would disappear but it didn’t. All the products I used evaporate quickly. Still, I prefer this stain to those friggin blue ink numbers. They really cheapened the look.IF the people who make these were smart, they would buy blank stickers and write the numbers on a sticker instead of ruining the journal.NOTE. I ordered and just received two more of the same journal for my daughter’s... expecting them to have blue ink inside somewhere that I would need to remove..,BOTH journals from my second order are PERFECT IN EVERY WAY.... no blue ink. BRAVO!

The paper is of beautiful quality and such a stunning cover! I love it!

Just got my new journal and it looks and feels amazing! However the latches on mine (both) were sadly broken.. I would recommend them shipping it in a better package than a thin plastic envelope… 3/5 for neglecting your packages

I ordered this for my teenage daughter for Christmas. It's exactly as pictured & the manufacturer or seller wrapped it in plastic & put spacers between the journal and the plastic wrap to protect the gemstones to keep them from breaking. The inside pages are a thicker off-white parchment style paper (unlined of course since I've never seen lined parchment paper). Some people may not like the texture of the paper compared to more processed smooth writing paper, but it goes perfectly with this journal's design. You probably couldn't use a fine-point pen or a pencil, but a medium-point ink pen, gel pen, rollerball pen, medium-point marker, fountain pen or even a quill with liquid ink would all work well if you really want to get authentic. There are a lot of pages to write on, so the number of pages feels like a good balance with the hefty appearance of the leather cover. The cool latches work easily and definitely add to the whole look of the journal. Can't wait for her to open it on Christmas morning because this is something that wasn't on her list , but I know she will love!

I love this journal. It’s beautiful and is what I expected.

Wow.... just wow! I am more than amazed with this journal. I had read mixed reviews on so many similar ones so I was a little scared at what the quality of this would be. But wow! The leather is thick but so soft. The paper is thick and very well made. The leather detail stitching is delicate but just amazing. The stones are amazing. The latches feel like they could break if MISHANDLED but still very good. You can refil this journal with replacement paper BUT you would have to watch some YouTube videos on how to stitch them into a book first to learn how. No... it isnt “perfect” it is hand made and you can tell. If you want something perfect go to Walmart n just buy a notebook. If you want handcrafted vintage style with an awe inspiring look and feel then buy this journal! Worthy of passing down a generation or 2 and will make a wonderful BoS ! So excited to finally call it mine! 😁

Love the feel of this journal/sketch pad. Is so awesome. I’m looking forward to using this in the near future.

This turned out to be the perfect gift four a four year old witch. It’s gorgeous and her eyes literally lit like fires of pure joy. Gorgeous piece of craftsmanship.
