It has an antiquated look to it. The quotes on the front cover are very inspiring

My first Deckle Edge Notebook was a gift from a friend. It was so wonderful to write in that I soon ordered 4 more, but found myself giving them all away so friends could enjoy them, too. So I ordered 6 more and will hope I can hang on some of them, but they make the most beautiful gifts. The company manifesto is a work of art itself. I'm so impressed with the quality and originality of their products and their policies that I know I'll be supporting them in the future and encouraging my friends to do the same.

This is the 4th time I have this notebook, 2 for me and 2 as gifts for artists. Love the paper.
