The item, packaging, and its price were all almost too good to be true. I chose this as a mothers day gift for a mother that could likely use a pair of bookweights at times. It's plenty weighty while being supple and long enough in the middle to allow for any weighting at any angle, be it a new thick paperback or wide and delicate old family Bible. Packaging is very nice, my mother even liked unfolding the suede-feel wrap inside. Small details such as that are always nice. The only thing that was missing was the note, which I was really just trying to see what Leatherology's notes looked like. The note's message was on the invoice, which came with all the info she would need for the guarantee, etc., without showing the price, just as it should be. Perhaps this WAS the note - if so, it's a line in tiny font, one may want to ask Leatherology if "depending" on the note offered. I expected it to be nicely made - it's even better than I expected, It will last forever, be used, and be beautiful while doing so.

Excellence quality bookweight, and it comes in a very nice gift box.

Bought for my wife as a Christmas present. She is a big reader and was in need to a book weight. Great quality and beautifully monogrammed for that personal touch. She absolutely loves it!

This is the perfect book weight. The leather is beautiful, the underside is sufficiently textured so that it stays in place, and the weight itself is substantial enough to hold open an uncooperative book. I love it!

From the product to the packaging everything was exceptional!

Nicely crafted item with gold-lettered initials. Does a wonderful job on the pages of any of my books & looks great on my study desk!

Although rather hard to find through the online catalog system to which I had been directed, the leather bookweight with monogram was exactly as I had hoped! I will return to Leatherology in the future.

Very nice. The item was more substantial than it looks online/I expected. Made of sturdy, quality leather in rich colors. The monogramming shows nicely. Perfect for hardcover novels (I'm old school, in that sense) and school text books. I bought two for Christmas gifts and one for myself.

In 2017 a book weight sounds old fashioned. That is until you have the need to hold a book to that particular page. It is then that you discover you need a third hand or momentarily wish for one. Leatherology gives us readers the perfect third hand in their book weight. With it we can use our natural ones for other business. I find it to be just the right weight and size. And the dye from the leather has not stained a page. But you don't have to be old fashioned, just have the need. I hope Leatherology and their book weights stay around for a long time!

So far so good, this item has really made one of my books on Photoshop, so I can follow the lesson plans. Before it was very difficult to do so as the pages were always turning, but so far, I have only used it on one book...
