HANDSOME & CLASSIC !! I wanted a checkbook cover that was a cut above the typical vinyl covers I've had in the past. Something much more unique and down-to-earth than the mass-produced leather checkbooks you see in department stores and online megastores. Boy, did I hit the jackpot! This handmade leather checkbook cover is stunning. Rugged, thick, high quality leather in a rich natural brown. The craftsmanship is above and beyond. My checks and check register fit perfectly. It feels good in the hands and is beautiful to look at. Communication with seller was excellent and shipping was very fast. I'd never thought of check writing as a pleasurable activity -- until now. -Elliot
