cuero 3 Moon Blue Lapiz Embossed Vintage Leather Journal | 240 Pages of Antique Handmade Deckle Edge Vintage Paper, Leather Sketchbook, Drawing Jo...

The book was very well made, the pages are bound together nicely, and even gives that vintage witchy vibe I was hoping for. I also love the texture of the pages, I haven't wrote on it mainly because it's too pretty and I love the condition. I really need to man up and write in it, but it's just so beautiful. You can honestly gift it as a sketchbook or a writing book. I recommend it. Definitely worth the money I spent on it, and the material is so good!

Love it. So pretty. Magic.

Got this for a gift She absolutely loves it

First off, contrary to other reviews, my book came mold/ smell free. The only thing I could smell was the hand made paper, which is normal. The stone isn't as nice as seen in some pics of this book. It does look like painted glass. The black cover is nicely detailed, doesn't smell BUT is easily scuffed and will bleed off it gets wet. Like with another review recommending modge podge, I used Golden matte medium (with a bit of glitter mixed in) to put a protective coating over the outer cover to keep the block dye/stain from running which helped a lot. I also used a sharpie to blacken the raw edges before using the matte medium. There's no wonderful leather smell. However, I'm thinking adout either using leather scented air fresheners or a leather essence oil to rub into the raw side of the cover and see if it'll hold the leather scent. The paper, which is parchment in color, handled inking and a bit of color wash without buckling... so far, the paper seems to be bleed-free... each page is pretty thick too. It's a cool book but be ready to care for it like you would prep a painting or about to build a model kit etc. It needs some love protection-wise.

This is exactly what I wanted, though the stone on the cover was an extra I didn't know I wanted until I saw it! You should know before you buy it that the pages in this are heavily aged and may even look dirty, and the size of the pages may vary slightly; this is by design and it's a feature I wanted, but some may not like that as much as I do. The pages are thick with a cottony finish and a feathery soft deckle edge. They look like they're a few hundred years old. It has 92 sheets, so 184 pages of writing surface. The cover is not distressed like the pages, so looks new and feels smooth and sturdy. The stone on the cover is a little smaller than I expected, but looks genuine. If it's not, then it's either reconstituted or a high quality fake. I'm delighted with it!
