It's gorgeous, and as soon as I opened the package I smelled it and swooned. The smell of brushed leather is my favorite. There is literally nothing negative I could say about this gorgeous work of art. I'm amazed by the price, in all honesty... I think it's worth much, much more than the listed price. It's extremely soft from all angles... Even the pages are soft! I slept with it last night. I'm not one to keep journals, so I don't understand my love for this one. I got this for my Grimoire. I've ordered a couple others and gave them to my niece... I just didn't "feel" them. This one, however, is perfect. Enough of my creepy journal stalker talk. As stated, it's soft. The leather is aged and extremely good quality. It has a heavy weight to it, which is nice. There is no clasp, but instead a long leather strip that wraps around it several times... Also very good quality. The pages are made of cotton, and it shows. They're also soft and have a nice weight and feel to them. There was a protective "sleeve" between the leather and the first and last pages, to prevent staining and damage... Which I'm very happy for. The journal itself was in an envelope, however it was within a burlap pouch, which was also wrapped in plastic. I was so relieved about that, since it rained the night it was delivered. It's very thick... Full of pages. Many, many pages. And it looks like you can replace these pages once they're filled up with no real issues. You'd probably need to remove some stitching. It is GENUINE leather. The smell reminds me of a tack shop (I grew up with horses, so this is comforting). The company helps children in Africa and believes in being eco-friendly, which really shows in their craftsmanship. This is by far the most gorgeous item I've ever ordered off desertcart. I already had a coworker order one as well. Highly, HIGHLY recommended. Review: EDITED: - A beautiful journal, quality all the way. - 3/18/19: Again edited and what customer service! Added the 8x6 again without the pen. I'm ordering two more today. I cannot say enough about the quality and how beautiful these are. (Note: I used Oakwood Leather Conditioner on it - preserves and protects the leather. It's absolutely gorgeous. I love that each one is unique as well. 3/2/19: I'm docking this one star. I have bought two of these. I'm gauging how often I write / the size of my handwriting and by the looks of it, it will last me 5 months. I also wanted to purchase one for a gift so I came back to purchase 2 more. SO disappointed. No longer is the 8 x 6 available on its own. One must purchase a pen for about $10 more. No, thank you! I'll be looking elsewhere. Here's my original review. Same product - but also, the price fluctuates so often (seller informed me daily metrics dictate what the price is / should be. The first one I purchased was $29, next day, it was $32). Here's my original review. I had high hopes for this. And it surpassed my imagination. The feel of it is extraordinarily inviting to open and begin writing - not to mention the rich leather aroma adding to that invitation. The quality is outstanding. I journal every day, so tend to go through a lot of pages. It is difficult to find thick, writable journals, that do not interfere with the thought process (logos, thickness, line, type of paper, etc.). And the cotton paper is superb. This is the first journal that I found myself writing more carefully... as if I entered a much more intimate space. I automatically slow down before writing. I've never this experienced with other journals. I know this sounds over the top and very dramatic. But nothing I've mentioned is hyperbolic. PS Great Customer Service: I thought I had purchased two (expecting one to be a gift). I'd made an error - I had only ordered one. At the time, there was a discount for purchasing two at one time. I immediately wrote the Seller who replied and honored the discount after I placed the second order. And now that I've received the second, I'm tempted to keep it..... ## Features - MADE FROM BUFFALO LEATHER: Moonster’s leather notebook is made of hand-cut water buffalo leather and premium recycled cotton paper.

These are non refillable. I have actually thought of changing out the paper since this is very light. My preferred would be a 140 lb watercolor, Arches, Fabriano, or Moulin du Roy. If and when you decide to do this, you will actually have to “re-make” this item. Are you ready for that? Since I do not have a leather supply near me, I was thinking, I could get leather shoelaces at the cobbler, or a shoe store. You will have to cut the leather knots, then prepare the paper you are using for a replacement. I rip my own so I will have deckled edges. Then you have to fold it, and make the holes. If using 140 lb paper, you will not be able to fit as many. Are you sure you want to do this? I have a few more suggestions: leave this journal as it is. Record you daily life. Enjoy it as it is. A journal is meant to be a record. Make a daily entry. A drawing, painting, or just a memory of the day. My second tip is to make some simple books of your own. Find your special paper, go to an office supply store, or online and get some loose ring binders. You can make covers out of anything. Decorate as you like. Cut up Amazon boxes for cardboard. This way, you can take out any pages you don’t like. I take off all the expandable rings in any notebook or journal I buy and replace with the ring binders. My third and final suggestion is to either watch online, or better yet, take an in person journal making class at an art store or college. I am considering that option myself. One of my local colleges offers everything from crash courses to intensive Coptic binding classes. **Q: Is the paper parchment paper? Like a paper-pulp? I want a really handmade look** A: Yes from what I gather. It is actually like 5 mini pads (like they can only stitch 20 sheets to make the 100 or 200 or whatever pages) to make the big one almost like really old books.Totally hand done my husband loved his and said he felt like Indiana jones with an ancient notebook but it's crafted well!! **Q: For those using it, how well does it stay open when laid flat?** A: Mine doesn't stay open without holding it. I assume that once you use it a lot, the spine will soften and stay open a bit easier. **Q: Does this journal have dots like a bullet journal** A: Hi Jennifer, The paper is blank, and is not lined nor dotted in any way. We may come out with a lined variant in the near future. Please stay tuned!
