I generally don't write reviews. In fact, I have only written one other review for a product I found "over the top" in quality that exceeded my expectations. I was drawn to the Journal by the photographs, of course. It really looked beautiful. I put off my purchase for several weeks, but eventually bought it, hoping it would be as nice as it looked. It arrived, very nicely packaged with a hand-written note thanking me for my purchase. When I opened it, I was very pleased to find that it indeed was as nice as I had hoped. It is beautiful and well crafted. I know it will be with me for a long time. I actually only have one complaint. During the ordering process I was offered a discount (I believe 15%) if I signed up for an email list. I did, and a promo code came across the screen. At that point, someone distracted me, and I forgot the code. I checked my email for the code and it never arrived, although I am now getting promotional emails from the company, including the one requesting a review. I had planned to order the journal anyway, so it was a nice gesture, but I was unable to take advantage of it. Regardless, it really is a beautiful journal and I will enjoy it for many years.
