Wow!  This was a great find and purchase for me.  I've been using those generic checkbook holders for a long time.  Nothing ever screamed, "this man has style" with those, but this Johnston & Murphy is superb.  The quality seems paramount to anything I've seen before.  I expect to have this one for a long time as I'm a stickler about making purchases that will last me a lifetime.  If I am going to complain about anything, it would be the abscence of a sleeve to seperate your checks when using the copy type.  I found a nice piece of plastic, cut to size and it fits the requirement.  This really is a beautiful checkbook holder.  I'll have to buy a wallet(Johnston & Murphy) to match.
