Black goatskin gives this family history book a lasting, understated place among the family records. Its 504 lined pages include sections for events, daily entries and family registers, with 48 family-tree pages. Gilt-edged, cream-white paper and a satin marker make a substantial record book inviting to return to.

“I would begin with the names and dates one can verify today, leaving room for the small family stories that are so easily lost between generations.”
-Mrs. Mayfair

Care & Ownership

Dust the closed volume gently with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush, working away from the spine. Handle with clean, dry hands, support both covers when reading and use a bookmark rather than folding a page. Keep away from splashes, direct sunlight and radiators; store upright with gentle support, or flat if the volume is large. Do not apply household polish, oils or leather dressing to the binding.

Maker / Heritage

Graphic Image began with Bennett Glazer’s attention to typography and the leather diaries he designed in 1977. His earlier work as the Franklin Library’s first design director gave the company its grounding in collectible bookbinding. A long collaboration with Tiffany & Co. included developing signature blue leathers from French and Italian tanneries, a revealing example of how closely the company considers color and finish. That same care connects its books, albums and home accessories. The aim is a familiar object worth handling and sharing, with a binding or leather surface that invites it into daily life.
