More than I wished for: I immediately purchased two more

I can't believe the cost of this beautiful handmade product - from the embossed leather cover to the lovely closure to the handmade paper. It feels like handling a sketch pad from the 18th and 19th centuries. The paper has texture and I believe it will be perfect for charcoal sketches, quick watercolor washes, and nature studies. I purchased two more as gifts for like-minded friends, but I might just keep them for myself!
