– A5 Leather Journal with Clasp Stone Writing Pad Blank Notebook Handmade Notepad for Men & Women Unlined Paper Best Present Art Sketchbook Travel Diary to Write Book of Shadows Refillable Grimoire

I absolutely love this journal! The cover is stunning—elegan and thoughtfully designed, with an aesthetic that makes me excited to use it every day. Whether it’s sitting on my desk or tucked into my bag, it always catches compliments. The size is perfect—compact enough to carry around easily, but with plenty of space to write without feeling cramped. The paper quality is excellent too: thick, smooth, and works well with my pens without bleeding or ghosting. It’s clear that a lot of care went into making this journal. It’s both beautiful and functional, and has quickly become my go-to for journaling, note-taking, and reflections. Highly recommend

It is a lovely hand made book . Paper is of excellent old style quality , and i love the stone . My only wish was that it was big enough for A4 paper or that it was A4 size . The reason is , is that i was prompted by a friend in the media to write my life story Though i am mostly disabled now , I have lived an amazing life . If not witnessed by others , would not be believed . But it will mostly focus on the here and now . my animals that i raised and the magical way we are linked . Two highly trained american Akitas , Thirty Crows that i helped raise from babies . A baby gull that is adopted by the crows and is their look out at times he is full grown now . and each of those birds can call for help from many many more , and the sky grows black with birds . Alfred Hitchcock would be amazed at this . All of which came about when i saved a small crow i call Snippy , in a storm called Freya . She still cant fly . hedge hogs , and a wasp i trained to come when called and land on my finger . also a magpie called Dodger , becouse he's a thieving little so and so . So a reporter is coming to write about this in the spring . And the fact that i have had entanglements with gangs and my dog and the birds got and still do get envoled in these events needs to be documented . When she comes here to do this i would like to be writing my own personal life story in old style scroll colligraphy . any way the wrest of this is for what will be written .If i told you i was also blind for seven years and got back my eyesight 4 years ago , think about that . My youtube channel is Colin L LLanbadarn . .....to see a couple of early films on when i first started conecting with two young crows , the the modern day vids will be put on as i get to writing . This lovely book i'm going to put notes in as a diary of this , in pencil , incase of mistakes . IF you could do me an A4 one , even just the leather cover with the art work pressed in . and a Crows head , and a Wolfs head pressed in the front cover , that would be brilliant . all of this gets written into my life story by the reporter . I also talk on the radio about my experiences at times , Howard Hughes talk radio . The book i had from you is lovely , and i worry about using it as it is the only one . Thank you though . I love it . Yours Colin .

I ordered this notebook yesterday and received it today, which was outstanding because it said it was out of stock and would come on 1st July. It is well made for the price - many pages of good quality paper, a luxurious feel and a well-made latch which is not too tight or loose to open and close, and the back and front covers have lots of excellent detail and embossing. That said, it is a little messily put together - you can see where the different sections of pages were put in (though this isn't a big problem because it's refillable), the edges of the leather are starting to peel, nothing is hemmed, the leather latch-strap is rather poorly made (wonky press studs, unevenly cut) and the inside isn't lined so leaves a brown stain on the first and last pages. A lot of this can be forgiven though because of the reasonable price and ye olde notebooke look to it. Overall, I am happy with what is a very attractive and magical looking book. The stone (perhaps some sort of crystal?) is extremely well secured and high quality and the overall look is exactly as displayed. I would by no means be embarrassed to gift it, and am very happy it is my new notebook.

Beautiful cover and texture...... technically it’s refillable if you happen to be good with threading leather etc but don’t expect to just be able to insert pages etc.... having said that it’s a beautiful book with decent paper at a good price

A really nice journal / notebook. All the stitching and embossing is really nicely done; very neat and well finished. The double metal clasps look and feel great. It is a little larger than some offered and is a nice size for a ‘larger’ notebook. The paper inside is quite thick and looks like good quality - although I am not in a position to judge this much. It certainly looks great. I bought this as a display piece for my office and I am very pleased with it. Although I do feel a little guilty; it feels like this should be used and loved instead of displayed. Maybe I will. I am so pleased with the product and I am planning to buy more of these as presents for some of my more artsy / crafty friends and family. This year is going to be the year of the journal!

This is a beautiful book. The cover is sturdy enough. It’s unlikely to fall apart after repeated use which I’m so pleased about. The paper inside is relatively thick. I use it for sketching and being a beginner I use a rubber a lot! The paper can withstand a great deal of mistakes. Although, using a graphite pencil the more you layer, the paper will eventually start to break. However this does take a fair bit of time. The lock is sturdy. It’s attached really well on to the leather. Won’t fall off anytime soon. The stone on the front I’m a little disappointed with. It’s not as blue as the picture. Mines almost black rather than blue. Size is perfect for me personally . I’m worlds worst for not reading size descriptions. It’s bigger than your average notebook but not as big as an a4 pad. The leather could do with a inner piece so to tidy up the look. Other than that I’m incredibly happy with it . My daughter wants one which I will buy for her as the quality reflects the price.

It certainly smells and feels like real leather, sometimes you can't easily tell with products on Amazon. But this does seem to be the real McCoy. The paper is nice and think and absorbs ink nicely, no smudges. I use it as a character journal for Dungeons & Dragons, so it is used regularly, and so far it has proved to have been very well made. It looks and feels fantastic and is a joy to write in. I would definitely recommend this product.

This is my second purchase of a leather bound journal from Jaald. I was very pleased with my first, tree of life design journal, as I found it had the larger page size I wanted. Most other leather journals are much smaller and not so competitively priced. The quality of the journal is excellent. The paper has been suitable for acrylics, water colours, distressed inks, penwork and robust enough for collage. The real leather cover has been much admired. As I have two thirds filled this first journal I purchased the second, knowing the product would be reliable. I chose the inset stone version because it had the same large page size and slightly more pages and because it was different from my first. It was as expected a high quality product at a very reasonable price and I look forward to using it.
