5 out of 5 starsBaldtraveller went above and beyond with the creation of this journal cover. He worked very closely with me, and accommodated my requests, and was absolutely open, and honest, when he felt that my request was not possible. He even went above and beyond in finding creative ways of engraving a custom phrase and integrating a ribbon bookmark (which was an incredible surprise as I was NOT expecting either to happen, when he told me that engraving is a challenge, and he would need to source a ribbon of high enough quality to attach to his work). as far as the material goes, it is very high quality, and the attention to detail in the embossing, and colour match is second to none. would strongly recommend working with this creator, and will be looking to make additional purchases in the future, as my needs arise.

5 out of 5 starsI'm so happy with my this cover! It's absolutely perfect, the color is spot-on, stunning quality, and I love the little "spoilers" tag (also leather!). Absolutely worth it!

5 out of 5 starsThe journal is amazing. I cannot help just constantly admire it daily. I got the B6, since I wasnt sure what size to get at first, but it turns out it is perfect size for my daily/weekly notes and To Dos. Altguild took my request for the quote and made it fit within the area perfectly. I truly love this journal and have gotten many compliments on it. I will definitely be recommending Altguild to others!

Frequently asked questions
Further Details of importance for text and stamps.
•TIP: avoid placing your stamps or text near the spine of the book as the bending of the leather will cause the marks to fade and or distort.
•In regards to the stamp and text. If you wish anything different then please contact me via conversation, and I will be happy to review it.
•If you wish the stamp in another place, maybe slightly higher or or lower, then please let me know in your note.
•As the text is stamped individually by hand, I am unable to guarantee perfect alignment.
I'm a human being, not a machine. :) (Please refer to images for more info on text limitation.)
Leather details part #1
•The leather we use is taken from the industry where the hide would otherwise go to waste.
We use Full Grain vegetable tanned leather. This is a high quality leather with life and sole.
Full Grain Leather comes from the surface layer of the hide which has ALL of the natural grain, therefore, FULL grain. The natural surface of full grain leather burnishes and beautifies with use.
Being Full Grain leather your notebook cover may or may not have a few small natural wrinkles and imperfections (even more so with this Old Soul) that lend a tremendous amount of character. We do not deal in second grade leather that is also (confusingly named) known as Top Grain Leather.
Leather details part #2
With experience we treat and condition your leather for that luxurious leather feel and all edges are smoothly burnished. You will not get a peace of cardboard. Instead you get a newly created work of art that will change with you over time.
We normally aim to provide an even, natural colouring to your notebook cover. This is not the case with this item. Due to the full grain nature of our leather, plus the style and theme of this cover, it will have shades and discoloration that is either naturally and or purposely designed in to bring out that Old Soul feel.
When it comes to the dyes and conditioners used to treat your leather. Its my belief that if something touches your skin then it better be made with natural and friendly ingredients
How long before I ship
For most covers that are made to order, its about 8-10 business days before I ship. If its a ready made item then about 3 business days.
