PLEASE NOTE:

WE USE ONLY WATER BUFFALO and COW HIDES, and GOATSKINS from OLD DAIRY ANIMALS that are PAST a USEFUL AGE or FALLEN (Naturally Dead).

 THERE ARE NO ANIMALS BRED AND SLAUGHTERED FOR THE PURPOSE OF PRODUCING LEATHER FOR OUR JOURNALS. 

OUR LEATHER is TANNED with TREE BARK and FINISHED with a NATURAL VEGETABLE DYE in STARK CONTRAST to using CHROME TANNING which is HIGHLY TOXIC,WATER POLLUTING and known to be CARCINOGENIC.

THIS NATURAL DYE CAN LEAVE A SMALL RESIDUE ON THE SURFACE OF THE LEATHER WHICH MIGHT COME OFF ON YOUR HANDS ON FIRST HANDLING OF THE BOOK.

THIS IS TOTALLY HARMLESS AND WILL STOP IN TIME WHEN THE DYE STABILISES.

WE HOPE YOU AGREE THAT THIS IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO HELP REDUCE THE POISONING OF OUR ENVIRONMENT.

Please also note:

All these books covers are embossed in a large variety of CELTIC DESIGNS.

Unfortunately as there are too many variations to list, we are unable to specify which 1 you will receive.

All the MINI books have the same embossed flower design.
