I bought this new a long time ago. The deep red color is very beautiful. I've used it off and on, stopping and starting again, so I haven't used it continuously for a long period. There are no noticeable stains or scratches, and the texture is very pleasant. I bought it out of interest, but I haven't used it for several years, so I'm putting it up for sale. The snap closure is not loose, so please rest assured. I will ship it with the original refill that came with the purchase, as well as the address book refill. #SystemNotebook #Ashford #Prescott #Notebook #Diary
