These were sent as a gift. The recipients were enthusiastic and said the colors were so beautiful they weren't going to write in them but display them.

I have almost always kept a Journal, and so I ordered these to keep more writing in. I leave and write books for my children and my grand children, for after I am gone. I find this so wonderful. I use Caligraphy pens, and oh my word, it's so beautiful. One thing, be careful of what sort of pen you do use, it may run or seep through. The pages are like cloth and paper at the same time. Highly Recommend these!!
