LEATHER VILLAGE Leather Bound Vintage Journal for Women & Men - Book of Shadows - Lock Closure - 200 Pages of Antique Deckle Edges Handmade Paper - Rustic Brown Color - 7 X 5 inches

Obviously hand made with love, this is a beautiful, well-constructed artisan book that appears aged but is sturdy and new. It is a much larger size than the average diary but fits well in the hand and on the bookshelf. My son adores this and takes it with him everywhere to record his thoughts and discoveries about life and nature. It reminds me of a spell book out of a fairy tale, like it could easily hold the secrets of the world or prophecy from biblical times. It is so pretty and novel that we bought two more!

Okay this was actually exactly as pictured and described! My son who is 11, wanted this for his birthday so I got it and he has been writing and drawing his little heart out! Its super cute (or cool) and the paper is pretty thick so its going to last and not easily fall apart. The writing space is amazing because its blank paper.

Very happy with this! The leather is soft and has this beautiful worn look to it. Others have mentioned that it has a chemical odor but the one I received did not. It had a light leather smell which was pleasant. The pages are just as beautiful as the cover. I am not sure what writing utensil I will use just yet. There isn't a thing I don't like about it. I will be using this as a journal when I am out on a hike, can't wait. The color in the pictures did not come out as well as I hoped. The brown looks better in person. Nice craftmanship.

I am in love with this, I am giving one as a gift for all 3 of my kids. The leather is perfect, and beautiful. I am using it to write my story, and it function of the parchment adds the perfect touch for my story as it is set in the 15th century. I brought it as a gift to myself, it's the perfect gift for people who love to write old fashion.

Buy it! Super soft, well made, very nice! Love it. Would make a nice gift.

Very nice notebook. Not actually watercolor paper. Bled through. It’s good for markers. I’ll try other paints. But not for wet watercolor.

Purchased for my son-in-law who is an English professor, I inscribed: "In a world filled with computers, handwritten thoughts are a treasure". I hope he enjoys filling the pages

This journal is so special. It's handmade by folks in India. The paper was made out of cotten and other ingredients. When I opened my journal I could smell the leather. It appears just like the photo. It looks like a book from years ago. I'm going to write about special things and memories including photos. I bought 2 for giftsand 1 for myself. Everyone loves it.
