Very elegant, and well made
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered this journal. I use journals in my business for writing down ideas and rough sketches. I was very impressed when I opened up the Amazon envelope. The journal came packaged in a very nice thin box. The included literature was printed on seed paper that can be planted to become a tree! Amazing!<br /><br />I like the designs on the front and pack cover. The spine has some leather string woven into it, which is another nice touch. The only minor complaint I have is with the leather string that is attached used to keep the journal shut. Its long...very long when not in use. So you just have to tuck it up into the journal when you have it open and writing. I wouldn't take a star away for it because the length ensures you can keep it closed when not in use.<br /><br />The instructions state that gel ink pens work best and I would agree with that. The paper takes most ink types without issue. The gel ink did seem to take better than the others I tried, but it will be noticeable from the back of the sheet. So unless you are using pencil, you will probably only be writing on one side of the paper if that sort of thing bothers you.<br /><br />Overall, this is very well made, and unique. If you are a journal enthusiast, I think that you will thoroughly enjoy this journal.
