I wanted to give my friend a special parting gift when she moved to the mainland to attend the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Portland, Oregon. When I saw the beautifully leather-bound Italian recipe journal, I thought I had found the perfect gift for an aspiring chef. It certainly was! She loved it and intends to fill the Epica journal with her originally created recipes as she begins her new career. Already, her fellow students have expressed 'journal envy' at her lovely leather recipe journal. What a unique gift, and shipped just in time for her departure. Thanks again, Epica!

I purchased the Epica Handmade Italian Leather Wine Log/Journal as a gift for relatives in the States. My main concerns with on-line ordering are the actual quality of the item ordered and that I can have confidence in the vendor concerning the delivery of the item. This has been my first purchase with Epica and my overall impression is that there is a high level of concern for customer satisfaction through a very good customer-vendor on-line communication process and that a high quality product was delivered as promised. Thank you for a stress-free opportunity to order a wonderful gift for the holidays.

Two weeks ago I ordered a wine journal to give as an engagement gift. It was a HUGE hit! Everyone at the party wanted to know where I got such a beautiful journal from.

Several months ago we spoke on the phone when I was looking for a leather bound journal. After we got off the phone I purchased the lined "Journal of Thoughts". The book was truly a beautiful piece of art. I wish all the books in my library could have the same quality and bindings as the books from Epica. Alas I have completed that journal and today have purchased the next one. However this time I took your advise and bought the unlined, 8X10 journal with hand cut pages. I anticipate it's arrival as a child looks for Santa on Christmas. The quality of your books is unsurpassed and I have yet to find their equal. You were very gracious on the phone and a joy to speak with. Thank you for your advice, your assistance, and you wonderful books.

I am a portrait photographer and have been searching for the 'perfect' album to use in my business and for personal use. I have seen a lot of albums for photographic use, but could never find what I was looking for until I discovered the Epica album. I purchased the 14X14 Epica album with black pages and was very impressed with the beauty and quality of this album. It was just what I have been searching for. The album is exquisite and not only has a rich look, but a rich feel to it. I had the cover debossed with a title which only added to the beauty of the album. The large size really afforded me the opportunity to be creative in assembling the album and the photographs looked great on the black pages. I will definitely be purchasing more of these beautiful Epica albums.
