I received this journal for my 11 year old daughter and was very pleasantly surprised at the quality. It is a beautiful book, especially for the price. The magnetic closure and the inner pocket are both great features. I will definitely purchase another one for my daughter as soon as this one is filled up.

i think there are some variant colors as well. the magnetic flap is great and helps protect the interior. it also works well as an "book mark".

highly recommended.

I just love this journal...the look, the feel, everything. I really like the quality of the writing paper; it's thick, yet not too thick, and it just feels almost like a linen paper. I really like that it's lined; I hate journals that are blank...they just seem like doodle-pads to me. Anyone who enjoys writing, and writing on nice paper that will last, would love it. Just looking at the journal gives me a royal, regal feeling (it must be the deep richness of the red accented by the gold foil), and whatever I write in it just seems that much more special to me!!!

I an a civil war reenactor, and this journal is wonderful! not only do i reenact, but i am also a public speaker. i used this at the sam davis youth camp to kep my presentation notes in, and used it in my impersonation of belle boyd. i work at a christian bookstore so i engraved my name and the name of the camp onto this journal with gold lettering. it is beautiful!!!
