Editorial Reviews

Product Description
The discerning eye of any artist will appreciate the look and feel of this embellished journal. Our classic Old Leather Wrap is now available in an unlined, A4-format sketchbook—the perfect size to give your imagination full rein. The Foiled Super Size Unlined journal cover captures the look of a finely bound 15th-century Italian manuscript, with the delicate foliage patterns in gold tooling that were developed from a method introduced to Europe from the Middle East.

Unique, tactile, and so very pleasing to the eye, this sketchbook features our magnetic wrap, a classic ribbon marker, and a memento pouch to store the treasures of a life well-lived. The superb leather-look cover, high-quality paper, binding and design provide the ideal starting point for artistic inspiration. The stock used is very fine 120 gsm laid paper, a high-opacity archival-quality sheet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Size, Super Special Majestic Old World Look, April 18, 2007

By	Barbara Rose (BornToInspire.com) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I bought three of this journal to bring through a book in the set and I was really taken back with the size of the journal - it's huge! It's about the size of musical sheet music.

The closure that looks like black wrought iron is actually a hard flexible material that automatically snaps in place to keep the book closed - it's really beautiful!

The blank cream color paper is of top quality and on this journal the pages have a gold foil at the bottom of the journal. It does not need that on the sides, because the journal would be closed.

If you love to write, sketch, draw and want a LARGE classic majestic looking journal that just looks breathtaking on any book shelf this is the one to get.

If what you are writing or drawing has great meaning to you, then it deserves to be protected in this beautiful journal. Really gorgeous!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for any Serious Writings!, February 14, 2007

By	Jane Stiles (west covina california) - See all my reviews

This is the most beautiful book I have ever owned! I love to write whether it is journaling or playing around with Poetry or Short Stories...

I am so inspired just by the book itself! It is a magical book to hold and look at! I'm serious! I first was sceptical to purchase it because it is pricy for a blank sketch or writing book, but it is worth every cent! I will be purchasing more books to create a collection of Poetry and Stories that I feel my family will be able to treasure because of this truely Beautiful Book! I love the magnetic closure strap also! The book has the appearance of an antique treasure book. It is a great keepsake for journals or diarys.
