transotypesenseBook Large Leather Red Rubber Blank Notebook

This pad looks great... I have many people compliment it! Paper quality is very good, and it's bound well. Where it hasn't been great is the leather curling and staining. Possibly as it is unprocessed (suede-like) leather it absorbs moisture from the air. This has meant at times the leather curls and bends out of shape, at other times it will be fine. Not a deal breaker but worth knowing. Another watch out is that it will pick up stains from liquids / grease very easily... again because it is suede-like in finish. Over time this might give it more character, but this is of course subjective. A coffee stain might not be considered 'character'. For the price I paid more pages would have been nice... so due to the two points above I'm knocking off 1 star.
