"I loveee the Canterbury leather bounds!! They are all so beautiful. The only critic I guess I have would be that I wish the spine was a bit stronger. I get so stressed that the pages will fall out of my book but I’m not sure if that’s the way they’re supposed to be, but overall they are an amazing collection and I would highly recommend."
