NOW ON SALE: $120
It's rare that a leather journal on my site costs less than $140. This one has been reduced in price due to the fact that it seems I'm the only one who likes it! I continue to love the painting that is reproduced here on the cover, but my experiment in selling this limited edition has not been as successful as I had hoped it would be. This has been a planned limited edition of 17 books. So far, 5 have been made and 3 are available. It's quite likely this will remain a limited edition of 5.
This is the first batch in a limited edition of journals made in collaboration with the artist Lorraine Inzalaco. Lorraine painted this colorful and modern image of a woman in classic Greek attire writing feverishly in her journal. Through an agreement with Lorraine, I have permission to produce a total of 17 journals with this image on them. A percentage of the sale of each journal goes directly back to Lorraine. So far, I have made journals 1-5 in this limited edition. Journal #1 went to Lorraine and I'm keeping journal #2. The numbered journals available at this time are listed below. Please read on under photos below for more details.
