[.ca] Smythe Sewn Old Faux-Leather Wraps, Embossed, Lined (ISBN 1551562855)

faux leather:
Not to make a big deal about something that's been brought up on other reviews of these books, but they're advertised as "faux old leather". That means fake leather, so there's no cause to be disappointed that it's not real cow. ;) Personally, I like the these journals quite a lot - I like the feel of the covers, the inside pouch is a nice touch, and they've been durable so far (I have three now).

Great book for beginners and non serious writers.:
It's only $11. Who cares if it isn't leather. After alls do people not understand leather is expensive. If you want a real leather journal then be prepared to pay a lot more than $11. It is a great journal for beginners and people who just like to write down their events and memories.

DISAPOINTED:
This deal seems too good to be true, and it is. The discription fails to mention that the "leather" is really cardboard made to look like leather. I went for the deal to get two. I received two of the same exact cardboard books. Not a happy shopper
