A beautiful treasure

"This is exactly what I’d hoped for! The leather zipper cover is lovely and will be a protective cover for the pages of text. Such a wonderful book!"

— Judy M. (5/5)

Beautiful Book but . . . .

"Very disappointed with your shipping methods. The damage was just enough to make the products look very shelf worn or like seconds. The book corners were bent/smashed from having gone through postal service with no protection. I am not happy with presenting these as gifts when they are not pristine. I wrongly assumed that at the price I am paying and how your website touts everything as being a perfect "gift" that the utmost care would be taken for packing for shipment. I just can't get over the fact you don't use boxes, rather plastic bags. I hope this changes in the future, I do not feel comfortable purchasing additional gifts from you for my children and grandchildren simply due to your shipping methods. Plastic bags rip, get smashed, etc with the treatment they receive. A box at least provides more protection from careless shipper employees."

— Teresa Z. (3/5)

Wonderful Book!

— DINA W. (5/5)

"Need better quality control to catch the pages that are not cut to fit."

— tom (3/5)

A Book for all times

"I was once a Catholic monk who lived under silence as a young Novice. Each day we would read a passages from the Imitation of Christ. As a result when I open the pages of this beautiful book, I can still hear the Gregorian Chants softly being chanted by my fellow monks. I is a wonderful way to spend an hour each night."

— Dennis O. (5/5)

Beautifully Made Holy Book

"I was very pleased with the book especially with how it closes with a zipper. Very nice touch. I have looked through it and I look forward to reading it. My friend says it's deep so I'm hoping I will love it."

— Nancy L. (5/5)
