We needed a book for our wedding for guests to put messages and wanted it to be good quality with plenty of pages and a colour to match the wedding theme. This book fitted the bill in all respects and for the price was a real bargain. The cover is quite luxurious and the paper inside beautifully lined and thick cream in colour. We were delighted with it and will treasure it, and even more so the messages it now contains, for years to come.I would suggest leaving on the cellophane cover until all the guests have handled it. The suede cover can get stained and the cellophane is actually quite attractive in its own right.
