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.

It is simply beautiful.
