This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.

I have purchased journals from this craftsperson several times. They are the nicest journals Ive ever bought. I bought them as gifts and kept one to use as a travel notebook. Its very lightweight, so great for travel. The paper and covers are equally lovely and well made.

I purchased two sets of these for my neices and nephews. I gave them with the thought that their parents will protect them until the kids get older. I love that they can have a picture of each child on the cover. Im not sure if they will be used as scrap books or a place to write or draw or all o the above. I know they will love them. Need to get them in the mail. Thanks to the artist and Novica!
