If you go to epica.com you will see a wide of products, mostly leather journals and albums. You'll also see the worlds thickest journal. A monstrous 1000 pages (combined) and 3 inches thick, touted as an inexhaustible supply of paper to write whatever on. Well this has captivated me for about a bloody 2 years now. The cost of what I've come to call the "Uber Journal" is $275.00 plus tax and shipping and handling, a good $300.00 smackers. Yeah, that's pretty steep for a journal. But some people pay that for meals. You have to consider priorities. If you're a wealthy lord or lady (in this economy?) then it should be nothing. It matters if you are obsessed with writing in books with the vague notion that someone in a 100 years will read it someday, then you may as well satisfy your obsession.
To the credit of the person who does purchase the Uber Journal, Epica products are expertly made by people who bind work with leather and bind books for a living. These people know what they are doing and they do it extremely well. So you will purchase a product that you can rest assured will last a century or two. If you want something to just write in that can last just as long, get a moleskine. They are great for lugging around and can take a lot of abuse.
