Great Gift!
I bought this item as a birthday gift for a dear friend. The picture does not do justice to it as the blue covering is vibrant and the leaf pattern quite striking. Even the gift wrapping was a work of art, so much so that my friend took a picture of it before opening the present. Needless to say that she loved the gift! Compliments to the artisan!
Exquisite Gift
This book is a treasure! Far more impressive than the photograph for the quality of care in every aspect of its construction. I got it as a gift for my partner as he tells wonderful stories of his childhood. Though he does not journal, I encouraged him to use this beautiful book to write those stories that they may be enjoyed by his children and perhaps grandchildren some day. I am an artist in the US, graduated from a well known art college. Freshman year, the Calligraphy class required that we create a book from scratch, including end papers, binding, cover etc. It took a month of serious effort and I am proud of my creation, but easily admit that this book far exceeds my own. It is simply beautiful.
After experiencing financial hardships in my youth, I feel immensely grateful to provide for my family and serve as a role model for my children.
