Ok.. For that age old question "what do you buy the man who has everything?" (i.e. boss, grandfather, etc)... This is it! O wow.. I didnt check measurements on it, so it was a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but I was glad because I thought it would be a bit odd to carry any larger... It is about the size of a nice size day timer.. The craftmanship on this is surpurb... The paper is so nice and thick and its obvious that care was used while making. The color of this is so rich and so exquisit. I do not know of one thing they could have done to make this any more perfect. The photo does not do it justice at all! Can be for a man or woman... I happen to be giving it to my boss who is in love w/ handmade leather products and one to my grandfather who loves writing stories about his childhood. I cannot wait to see the expression on their faces when they open this. What a find! You wont be disappointed!
