These images from the Book of Kells provide a rare glimpse into the mysteries of the Middle Ages; the shifting colors and intricate ornamentation evoke the power and strength of ancient Britain. Each illuminated page is bordered with gold foil stamping to match the beauty of the originals.

Evoking Ancient Britain,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Handstiched Book of Kells Lined Evangeli (Hardcover)
Paperblanks produces some very appealing blank books ... in general, their books work in well, break nicely and feel well-made. The Book of Kells series (there are four altogether) does not disappoint.The series takes its name from the Book of Kells, an amazing hand-painted manuscript of 680 pages that dates from the Middle Ages. The image used for this blank book, Evangeli, is from the Gospel According to Mark. It symbolises the four evangelists. The covers are heavy board, covered with the richly coloured image, which is embossed and intermittently gilded, so that it seems to sparkle. The book has 128 ecru pages (counting front and back separately), faintly lined, secured by an attractive coptic binding (chain stitched signatures and covers with an open spine) that echos the antiquity of the cover images. The smooth paper - acid free and archival quality - takes ink well, including that from fountain pens. On the interior of the back cover, as in many small moleskin books, there is a gussetted folder, which the publishers call a "memory pouch," for stashing odds and ends. At 7x9, this striking journal is small enough to carry with you in a day pack, yet not so small that it cramps your hand. An attractive addition to any journal-lover's collection.

Not What I thought,
By Solomon Blake "Priest and Knight of the ONE t... (Superior City, Michigan USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Handstiched Book of Kells Lined Evangeli (Hardcover)
I honestly thought I was ordering a full copy of the official book of kells. Perhaps I didn't read thoroughly enough. But the quality of this journal/notebook is absolutely wonderful. I tell you, if you are a journaler, or a poet, or song writer, then there is no better page to enter your work into.

Beautiful, and usable, journals,

This review is from: Handstiched Book of Kells Lined Evangeli (Hardcover)
I have a few different Paperblank journals and all are very well made. I had to read the description a couple of times to make sure I was purchasing the journals with lined paper. The paper itself takes ink well.
Some of the journals have pockets on the inside flap and all seem to lie flat when open for easy writing. The Book of Kells series is amazing. I find something new each time I look at the cover. Basically, I'm a sucker for pretty journals.
