Only good at first glance

Describes this travel diary as "luxury notebook". Therefore, I had quite high expectations. These were not met. The world map is in poor print quality (blurred). The book was wrapped in foil. When I took out there, it smelled like a book of Grandma's attic. The felt on his Feuch and the blotter was covered with white spots. To me, this seemed like mildew. I suspect that this book was packed too early and therefore kept moisture in the packaging. Therefore, possibly the musty smell. Not acceptable All in all for me. Therefore back.
