Beautiful Journal

Seems perfect for gifts or as a personal treat for those who enjoy beautiful writing journals. I use it to keep track of certain personal to-dos and activities. While I still use apps, it is nice to go old-school when you have something lovely to write in. The antique-colored pages are lined and have about a 1 inch blank header and a small, 1 line-sized footer. The paper has a smooth finish, nice weight (thicker than regular paper, but not too thick), and is gilded at the edges. I haven’t tried calligraphy yet so I am curious as to how well the paper absorbs such inks. Will update review when I do. NEGATIVE: I dropped a star because the back cover has a large sticker that is difficult to remove. I carefully removed the sticker as I was worried the backing might tear, Unfortunately, areas of the back finish are slightly marked and dulled from the sticker removal. They need to use different stickers or affix the sticker to clear wrapping.
