Celestial Journal (Diary, Notebook)

The media could not be loaded. Solid purchase, great quality for the amount you spend. Beautiful design on the front, back, and spine. The pages are nice and smooth and i love the spacing of the lines. Love the gold trim on the pages. The ribbon book mark is a huge plus for me in keeping my spot for my daily entries. Beautiful dark blue color on the outside, and feels smooth with lifted texture on the gold designs. I've gone through plenty of journals, definitely one of my favorites.

High quality paper, really cute, and my daughter loved it, highly recommend. Leather has a luxurious feel to it

First, I have a LOT of journals. I'm a pen and journal hoarder. It's a reality.These hardcover, lay flat, Peter Pauper Press journals are by far my favorite. I've used both the 7.25 x 9 and this smaller size. Whenever I need another new journal (it actually does happen despite my collection), I automatically go to Peter Pauper Press. The only decisions I ever have to make are 1) how many and 2) what design(s). Every design I've ordered from them (I think I'm on my eighth and ninth journals - I just ordered two more after filling up this lovely journal) has been absolutely gorgeous. I make an effort never to order the same design twice, and so far, that's been very simple. There are just so many beautiful designs to choose from and they are all exquisite. And they are always adding new ones!I have so many favorite features, but some of the things I like the best about these are:1) They lay flat (sometimes they forget to mention that) (the ones that have the elastic closure - i.e. the really small size, however, do not - at least in my experience. This is only in reference to the 6.5 x 8 and the 7.25 x 9 journals).2) They have a ribbon bookmark.3) The paper is really, really smooth and easy to write on. My thoughts tend to go faster than my pen, so I don't want to be further bogged down by rough, hard-to-write-on paper.4) They are acid-free which means they'll last just about forever.If you are considering whether or not to buy a journal from Peter Pauper Press, particularly the hardback version that lays flat (either size), don't hesitate. You WILL NOT be disappointed!

This is a really gorgeous journal. It’s a reproduction of a 1933 design by Henry T. Wood bindery of London. The celestial design is very pleasing and unusual. The journal is a very pretty cerulean blue with gold accents. The book doesn’t have a flat one-dimensional design; it’s embossed with a beautiful design of the sun surrounded by the planets, stars with borders and scroll work. The page edges are gilded and the spine is embossed in a gold look also with a design of Saturn and stars. The journal measures 6.25 x 8.25 inches.The inside cover and back cover are gold which is an extra added touch and makes it look more expensive. There are 160 ruled pages and a built in blue ribbon marker.I love these reproduction designs of books that were designed years ago. The detail and thoughtfulness back then is a joy to see and it’s a shame books don’t have the same thought put into the covers anymore.What I love about this book is the possibilities. Not only can it be used as a journal but if you are a sky watcher it could be used as a book to write down your observations of planets, stars, eclipses or any other astrologic thing you like. There are how to videos on line that show you how to make your own Harry Potter school books and this one would be perfect for an Astronomy book and maybe even a Divination book. Just do a search for Harry Potter DIY school books and I’m sure you can find it. If not just leave me a note and I will link you.The bindings are tight and the book is well-made. A really lovely journal.

Great for junk journal or sticker journal or other note book needs.Pages do not wrinkle with gluestick, it's very nice.

This journal is wonderful. The pages are lined with a golden sheen and the cover shimmers as well. The blue is a nice navy and it has crackles going throughout it making it look aged. The pages are very thick which has both pros and cons. The main pro is that your ink WILL NOT show through to the other pages even if you write on the front and the back of each page, assuming you're using an average pen. The main con is that because the pages are so thick the journal won't last as long as one with thin pages. Each page feels about 5 times as thick as an average composition notebook page, I've been writing in it once daily for about a month now and it's already about a quarter of the way filled. The pages are also a nice cream color with very thin, light lines on each so they don't stand out too much. I will definitely by another one in a new color when this one runs out. The price is great for what you get; I would suggest it to anyone looking for a unique journal.

I just ordered journals from Pauper Press and they are amazing. I am in love with them. The quality is very high and the price is very low. I can't wait to fill them up so I can buy more.This one is a bit bigger than the other journals they offer, and it's lacking a pocket in the back and the elastic band that keeps it closed, but it makes up for it in beauty. The binding and gold embossment is stunning and the attention to detail is incredible. The gold design is actually two tone - parts of it are silver to simulate a vintage worn look to the gold. I just can't stop touching it!
