We write to taste life twice,
in the moment and in retrospect.

This would be a wonderful gift that any journal keeper, poet, bookworm, or aspiring writer would cherish. The first page of the book has the above quote by author Anaïs Nin.
The leather is a heavy-gauge antique brown cowhide, with a wrap around leather strap with two pretty aqua beads.
The journal measures approx. 5.5" x 4.25" and approx. 1.5" thick, and boasts 320-pages (both sides) of good quality white unlined 28 lb./105 gsm writing paper with handtorn edges - it's acid free, archival. The journal opens flat so you can write all the way into the margins. The page sections have been hand-stitched to the leather cover with beeswaxed Irish linen bookbinding thread, which is visible on the spine; it's a very sturdy and attractive binding.
Each book comes with a little "card of interest" containing information about your book (the history of the binding, the type of stitch) - which makes a lovely addition as a gift.
