I love both of those books!
Anyway, if you want a good leather journal:
http://www.renaissance-art.com/I have no association with them other than a satisfied customer.
I like to think if I'm ever in a fatal survival situation, it will at least be exhaustively documented

I just got my wife the large recipe book from this company, I'm quite impressed. Ordered on a Wednesday evening, delivered here by 3pm on Friday with all the customization I asked for. Build quality is excellent and my wife started filling it up with recipes!
I think I might get myself something from them as well!!!
Thanks for the link!
