5.0 out of 5 stars Elegant Gift

This is REAL leather bound. Not “pleather” or vinyl. Worth the slight extra cost! I returned one that wasn’t real leather & purchased two of these instead. This is a wonderful gift. You won’t regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Journal

I’m a nerd for notebooks. Really like the design of this journal. Wish I could also find a full sized notebook with this same design philosophy, but this works for my needs at the moment.

Great high quality Journal. Feels super sturdy to write in and the pages are very thick and nice. It has actual high quality leather so its a very nice touch from the faux leather journals I usually purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Journal!

I recently had the pleasure of buying this superb journal, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I held it in my hand, I could feel its sturdiness and appreciate the overall quality. Writing in this journal is an absolute delight. Let's delve into the pros and cons of this exceptional journal: 1. Thick paper: The journal features thick, high-quality paper that is perfect for writing on. It provides a satisfying experience, as the ink doesn't bleed through and the pages feel substantial. Whether you're using a pen or pencil the paper holds up exceptionally well. 2. Compact size: One of the notable advantages of this journal is its size. It's not overly big, allowing it to fit comfortably in a backpack or satchel. This makes it highly portable and convenient for on-the-go use. You won't have to worry about it taking up excessive space or weighing you down. 3. Initial concern addressed: Initially, I was slightly worried that there might be too many pages in the journal, given its thickness. This concern might seem odd, but it arose from the difficulty of resting my wrist while writing, which could be awkward due to it's height. However, I soon realized that this issue quickly fades away. The pages are designed in a way that allows you to navigate them easily, and the journal opens flat, providing a comfortable writing experience without any hindrances. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend this journal to anyone in search of an excellent writing companion. Its sturdy build, delightful writing experience, thick paper, and compact size make it a top-notch choice. The initial concern I had was swiftly resolved, and the overall quality of this journal is truly impressive. Whether you're a student, professional, or simply enjoy jotting down your thoughts, this journal is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a great diary.

enough pages for a full year lined for easy writing. Leather cover should last forever. good paper. Is smaller than last year's version. (Not noted in description). Would recommend it. My son gifts it to me.

Journals For Writing

Creation can be hard won, with hours agonizing over the details of a single word.  The professionals tell you to write and rewrite—that’s what all those authors you idolize have done, again and again.  Words turn on the paper like iron in a blacksmith’s tongs, til slowly, methodically, your vision emerges in technicolor. 

Fly Fishing Journal

You’ve spent years with your grandchildren teaching them to tie a fly and all the knots they’ll ever need to know.  Consider this their manual for generations to come. 

Product Features

Paper Perfection

Fountain pens glide over the 100gsm paper, leaving no trace on the backside. A heavier weight than the paper you find in most journals adds to the heritage quality of this journal, with this acid-free paper ready for writing, recording, even sketching.

Distinctive Binding

A hubbed spine wraps around each Artisan journal, stretching an inch or so onto the front and back covers.  These volumes contain twice as many pages as your typical journal — these Smyth-sewn bindings and hubs make for a classic look and a tactile feel. 

Leather With Character

Full Grain South African leather combines in two-color combinations on these journals. Top stitching between the binding and covers adds a hand crafted feel. Expect these bindings to weather beautifully, developing with softness and flexibility over time.

Made For Giving

You’ll love these journals for yourself, but the presentation makes them perfect gifts. Each Artisan journal is double sleeved – one charcoal sleeve for the journal, and another outside sleeve complete the package. Elegant and recyclable.
