The entire book cover is shaped to resemble The Wall from Game of Thrones, hand carved, embossed, and colored to recreate the realistic look of stone blocks covered in snow. The soft blue leather, expertly painted in white, mimics the appearance of a snow-covered surface, transporting you to the frozen lands of the North. At the center of the front cover, proudly displayed over the carvings, rests the House Stark’s Sigil—a hand-carved emblem painted in an aged silver color to perfectly complement the cover. To further evoke the essence of House Stark, the top part of the cover is adorned with gray fur, reminiscent of the regal garments worn by King Ned Stark.

Customer review:

Arya peeks at his father from the study room door while he is journaling behind his great oak desk.  “Come here, Arya”, Ned Stark said in a gentle tone.
“What are you doing, father?”  Arya has her fourth birthday coming next week and she wants to know what birthday gift she will be getting from her father.
“I am accounting the council affairs on my journal so that one day, your brothers can refer to it and rule Winterfell in an orderly manner.”  Ned lift and put her on the desk.
“How come fur grows from this journal?  And why did you break our castle wall to make this journal?” Arya asked innocently.
“My dear, I commissioned a very talented bookmaker to make this journal for me.  He lives far away from us in Serbia and his name is Alexander.  He travelled to Winterfell last winter and stayed here for a year to make this journal.  I asked him to design a journal based on what he saw and felt in Winterfell and he presented me with his journal.”  Ned said it proudly.
“The papers used for this journal are very sturdy.  They can probably last until your grandchildren become grandparents.  The leather bound cover imitates the north side of our castle wall in winter time.  It is in such great details and must have taken Alexander months to make.  The fur I asked him to put on the journal was from a dire wolf I killed when I was 12.  That kill was definitely worth mentioning and I have put it in the first chapter.  The dire wolf measured 10 feet long without the tail.  I lied in bed for two months from the wounds I got from the wolf.  I am so glad that this story can now be known through this journal.”…
