Reviews

Long lasting wears well.

"I acquired my first one several years ago and still use it daily. Since then I’ve bought two more. They each get used almost daily. Good quality stands up to my three year old granddaughter’s abuse."

— Big F. (5/5)

Very nice!

"The leather cover is just superb quality. But the journal is very disappointing; it just doesn’t fit properly. It’s a full half an inch too short. Somebody didn’t measure twice on this one!"

— Linda M. (4/5)

excellent quality and craftsmanship

Quality of leather not as pictured

"I’m sure I would’ve given this five stars if the leather had been like it was shown in the photos. Unfortunately, mine was dull with no pebbling at all. It looks almost completely smooth, but dull and doesn’t even feel good in my hands. The pictures from Levenger make this look like a very high-quality pebbled leather - soft and supple. That is not what I received. Very disappointed. Thank goodness I didn’t pay full price but maybe that’s why the quality is poor. I’ve ordered other things from Levenger in the past that came exactly as pictured. Too bad they couldn’t have kept to those standards."

— Jennifer G. (2/5)

With a couple of tweaks, it would be perfect

"Great product. Love the simplicity and quality of the cover and paper. Two tweaks would make this 5 star and inclusive of left handed users: 1) Add an additional "opening 'belongs to' page" at the other end of the journal 2) Remove page numbers so left handed users can begin from the other direction"

— Mrs. B. (5/5)

Excellent Investment

"I do a fair amount of journaling, and this leather journal simply energizes me to do more. The paper is fine quality, and the feel of the leather impeccable. An excellent investment in myself! Additionally, customer service from Levenger is simply the best. Thank you!!"

— Tim R. (5/5)
