No dislikes (get that out of the way). Magnificent craftsmanship, it survived the journey to Saint Matthews SC undamaged, nary a scratch! As soon as I removed the packaging that distinctive leather aroma filled my nostrils. Actually, the journal is surpassing my expectations. Remember when every motel had a "Gideon's Bible? Well, this is my equivalent, but it travels with me. When the moment takes me, I can sit down in the outdoors, enjoy the now, recall memories and ponder the future. Then, jot it down or sketch or park page notes to pursue later. Excellent purchase, definitely value for money. I am not inclined to recommend a product beyond my own personal experience. I would make an exception with this product.
