Cosmology Journal (Diary, Notebook)

Superb craftsmanship. These journals (I purchased several different covers as gifts) are BEAUTIFUL and so very well made. The paper is like silk, the gold edging perfect. They are lovely to hold, to feel to look at. Really sturdy aswell. I am seriously impressed and very glad to be able to give such an impressive gift. Excellent value for the money.

I bought two of these notebooks because I (or rather, my inherent yet dormant magpie gene) was enchanted by what I though was a shiny, heavily embossed gold pattern on the cover. Sadly I was mistaken. Very little, if any gold to be had, however, nowhere in the description does it refer to the said gold, so the fault is mine entirely. What I will highlight strongly - and this refers to the majority of these breathtaking notebooks is that the Amazon price shown at £10.80+ is £2.00 more than the £8.80 being charged by the manufacturer listed in the other offers tab - so do check prices! So to the notebook. After my initial disappointment about the lack of gold - I was actually very deeply amazed at the high and excellent quality of the notebook. It is larger, quite beautiful and funtionally so, than A5, in fact a little shorter in length than A4 and at 192 pages, adequate for a lot of uses. The pages are a soft cream, lightly lined so not obtrusive and silky smooth. I use fountain pens exclusively and inks from around the world (some of which can misbehave quite significantly!) yet I have experienced no problems at all, no bleed/ show through, smudging or indeed smearing - however I have had to learn a little patience in allowing the ink to dry etc. The cream makes most colours even more vibrant, oranges, blues, greens and browns come alive and the beautiful and sacred art of writing becomes even more precious and delicious. As another reviewer has said, one feels fearful about writing in these masterpieces - but by the very act of being written in, these beautiful artworks fulfill their destiny in holding your most precious thoughts. What a legacy to leave, and what a lovely gift to self! I have just ordered my seventh notebook and I cannot wait till it arrives as the description stated 'metallic accents in red, copper and blue' - wow. Treat yourselves to at least one this lifetime! Be Blessed.

The gilded cover is really beautiful and the edges of the pages are also gilded gold making this a precious looking book. The paper is high quality and smooth for writing without any bleeding through. They are also clearly lined and well spaced making it a perfect journal. The spine is sturdy and the hardcover feels good quality. The number of pages is also very generous. Pleased with my purchase and would recommend.

I saw the reviews which promised a beautiful, well made journal, but it still exceeded my expectations. Lovely, quality paper and stunning cover design. Would make a lovely gift.

Gold-foil edged pages, gold book mark ribbon, sewn spine, 190mm (w) x 230mm (h) = Much bigger than A5. Deeply embossed pattern cover (same both front and back) from the 14th Century Catalan Atlas by Abraham Cresques. Multi jewel tone and gold embossed coated paper cover . Nice, simpler but matching spine decor. 192 faint lined blank pages of heavy archival (acid free) paper. A blank gold card-weight first and last page. 1 title page simply 'Journal' with verso a 3 line summary of Peter Pauper's 1928 start-up. This is the same size as the PP Bordeaux Journal, bigger and more pages than others in the series. Less leathery, because of the density of the splendid printed pattern. Lovely, smart and tasteful. A mini-work of art from all angles, done with care and pride. A pleasure to look at and and to hold. Peter Pauper's journals certainly beat Paperblanks equivalent for quality and value by a wide margin. RECOMMENDED

I've raved about these Peter Pauper journals before, but I'm not bored of doing so yet! They're simply stunning. The cover designs, the gold-edged pages, the paper quality, the bookmark ribbon... all of these features combine to make this a really special, high quality notebook. The spine design means that it can lay almost flat when open, without compromising the binding at all. The leaves are thick, good quality and will take fountain pen, biro, pencil and felt tips with ease, giving a lovely smooth finish. The pages are lined, but otherwise blank. On the back cover is a high quality gold-coloured sticker with black writing, giving some details of the cover design. This can be easily removed without leaving a mark, but I chose to leave mine in place. These make superb gifts, and there's a big range of cover designs available. Highly recommended.

I love this Amazon seller, and I love to collect these notebooks. This one is slightly larger (still smaller than A4) but still pleasingly weighty, with a hard cover and a built-in ribbon bookmark. Pages are good quality paper, lined and gold trimmed on the outside edges (not obviously so, only visible when the book is closed). Very unique and classy, would make an excellent personal journal and is easily high enough quality to be presented as a gift. Worth every penny in my eyes!

Amazing book amazing quality

Lovely this Notabook feels like it owns the world inside.

Hermoso y excelente calidad!

Perfect! Superb! Superb to look at it, to touch the cover, to touch the paper, and to write in it.

It's really kind of beauty. Cover is so nice, paper inside is pale yellow, not too fat not too thin. Everything here is making me to write in it. So I've gone.

Just as others wrote - it's a beautiful journal
