Lovely journal provides plenty of space for personal reflection, sketching, or jotting down favorite quotations or poems. The cover design reproduces an 18th-century book binding by Antoine Michel Padeloup, royal binder to French king Louis XV. The original gold-tooled leather cover held a book of the Holy Week Offices. Padeloup's exquisite designs influenced book arts for generations. Inside, premium smooth-finish 120 gsm paper takes pen or pencil beautifully. Light gray lines subtly guide your writing. Paper is acid-free and of archival quality. Our cover design is embossed and embellished with gold foil. An added touch: The journal's page edges are gilded in gold foil. Tuck notes, mementos, and more in the pocket inside the back cover. Interior endsheets complement the design. Sturdy book bound-style binding. Popular small-format size, 5'' wide x 7'' high, fits easily in most bags and backpacks. 160 pages.
