Here is a simple, but very sturdy and long-lasting, leather-bound journal.

This book is bound in a soft blue suede cowhide. The pages are stitched to an inside piece of leather, with strong 4-ply waxed Irish linen thread. The outside cover leather is wrapped around the inside piece, and glued to it with Barge leather adhesive -- a very strong and durable glue, used for gluing soles back onto leather shoes. Decorative brass leather rivets serve to reinforce the bond between inner and outer leather. The inside and outside leathers are put together so that the book opens and lays flat easily. The belt and brass buckle are easy to unbuckle and buckle.

NOTE: If you purchase this book, it may be a bit bigger than the pictures lead you to expect. I have large hands.

SHIPPING: I ship via USPS Priority Mail, which gets things anywhere in the US in two to four days, usually. International orders typically take a week to ten days to reach their destination.
