Most remember Washington from famous tableaus of him crossing the Delaware, praying at Valley Forge, or signing the Declaration of Independence. Yet, few Americans know of Washington's diligent letter writing and record-keeping, and passion for an agrarian lifestyle. What became the hub of an enormous farm, Washington's rural home, Mt. Vernon, was his refuge from the wars and political turmoil of his life. Whether in need of refuge from your own battles or political strife, or just a beautiful place to record impressions and travels, you'll find the simple lines, beautiful antique finish, and the rich, ivory parchment paper of our Mt. Vernon Series journal to enrich your writing experience. A true conversation piece, this genuine leather journal will provide both excellent visual appeal and extraordinary writing, sketching, and note-taking experiences as you fill its pages with your own travels and musings. The texture and smell of parchment paper creates a unique and rich writing experience that will endure the test of time. And the look and feel of the hand crafted antique leather will only improve with time and use. Please note that because these journals are real leather, their color may vary slightly from the images in this listing. This ensures your journal will be a one-of-a-kind keepsake. Anticipate a long life for this journal even after you have filled its pages with your own tales, artwork, and history. Viatori journals are crafted with your journeying in mind. Designed with old-world care, and embodying functional and creative elements from ages long past, we hope that our journals will help you capture and remember your wanderings with a little flair.

Quality was good, however the journal was smaller than described, so was not right for the anticipated use.

Heirloom Quality Leather Journal
Lovely leather journal. Has a good hand-feel if you know what I mean. I especially like that it uses parchment paper rather than the standard white paper.

Not a good journal.
Received the item today. The book is exactly how it looks in the picture but it doesn't feel like good quality leather or paper. The book can barely open before it starts to fall apart. The paper is thick and off-white but the journal cover is very stiff. I'll just look elsewhere.

I really like Viatori Journals and the first one I bought was ...
I really like Viatori Journals and the first one I bought was the Friar tuck and it was amazing. The problem with this journal is that it is way too small to do actual writing in. I am a nightly journalist and this journal has made it almost impossible to write legibly at all, maybe this is a good notebook but it fails as a journal.

Smaller than expected.
I love using my owl quill to write in this journal. Pages are perfect thickness. Smaller than expected, roughly 3x5. The description says 6x4 but the pages themselves are most definitely barely 3x5. Was really hoping for larger pages.

not for artists.
The leather is a bit cracked (already, without use) on the bindings. The pages are hard to turn, so it isn't that great for a drawing book, which you'd like to lay flat as you sketch.
