This journal's cover is inspired by a 17th-century French book binding. The gold tooled goatskin original held a philosophical treatise on love, entitled L'academie des philosophes sur l'amour, written by Laurent Laspeireres. Inside the journal, premium smooth-finish 120 gsm paper takes pen or pencil beautifully. Light gray lines subtly guide your writing. Paper is acid-free and of archival quality. Tuck notes, mementos, and more in the pocket inside the back cover. The matching elastic closure secures your journal. Interior endsheets complement the design. Sturdy hardcover binding. 160 pages. Popular small-format size -- 5'' wide x 7'' high -- fits easily in most bags and backpacks. Gold foil, iridescent highlights, embossed, gold gilded edges.
