These are perfect for journaling! The paper, the book itself, and the strap/plus the pen holder all feel very nice and durable. I love the elastic closure. It’s small enough to carry but large enough to write notes in. Great deal for these! I love that it has a table of contents you can log and th pages have a date place as well as page number.

This black notebook feels like it’s made from quality materials from the moment you pick it up. The cover is sturdy and well-made, and the pages inside are thick and durable. The paper is smooth and easy to write on, with no scratchy feel, which makes writing for longer periods comfortable and enjoyable. One feature I really appreciate is the table of contents at the beginning. It’s a simple but thoughtful addition that makes the notebook feel more organized and intentional. I also love that it has a built-in spot to hold a pen, which is incredibly convenient and helps keep everything together when I’m on the go. I plan to use this notebook as a daily journal, and it feels perfectly suited for that purpose. The plain, solid black cover is one of my favorite aspects because it gives a clean, minimalist look while also allowing plenty of room to decorate with stickers and personalize it over time. Overall, this is a well-designed, high-quality notebook that I’m very happy with. Read more

I tried to upload a video, but the app was in a bad mood. At any rate, the journal is thinner in appearance than the first product image shows (which, if you've bought journals on here before, you'll know is almost always the case), but has the correct number of pages. The cover wouldn't fool anyone for real leather, but still has a nice appearance and feel. The binding seems good, and it EASILY lays completely flat, even in the middle of the book. I did an ink test on the first page. Sharpies and calligraphy ink showed through the other side of the page, but didn't bleed through to the next page. Pilot G-2, PaperMate Flair, Micron, and Precise V5 pens all were barely visible on the other side. I'll definitely be writing on both sides of the page. Read more

I am very pleased with this notebook/journal! I have been searching for an affordable notebook that works well with fountain pens, and I found it! I didn't want to invest in a pricey, high-quality journal, because I know i would feel compelled to save it for "something special", and it would likely sit on a shelf unused forver, while i perpetually deemed every idea unworthy of it, which would completely defeat the purpose of buying it in the fist place! But at the same time, if it wasnt nice enough, I probably would again never want to use it! I have a collection of fountain pens, so I needed something that would work well with the as well. I really like everything about this notebook. The cover has a really nice look and feel to it, and it seems quit sturdy and well made. The paper is surprisingly good quality as well. I tested it with several different pens and inks. Even with my wettest inks and pens, there was no bleeding or weathering, it stayed nice and crisp. There was some ghosting with the wettest pen, but not terrible, and even then it was only with a really sloppy-wet pen. I will definitely purchase again! Read more

This journal is really nice quality! The leather cover feels sturdy and elegant, and the green color is beautiful and professional-looking. The paper is thick enough that ink doesn’t bleed through, even with gel pens. It has plenty of pages, so it lasts a long time, and it lays flat nicely for writing. My only small complaint is that it’s a bit heavier than expected, so it’s not the most portable. Overall, a great choice for journaling, note-taking, or work use. Read more

Excellent journal!! Not only does it have a place that you can put the date at the top and the page number at the bottom, it also has a summary section in the front where you can list the date, page, and very brief summary of what was written on that page. This way, if you want to find a specific thing written about it can be easily located. Also, this journal has lined pages to keep writings neatly spaced. Additionally it has a small elastic strap that will hold the journal closed, a place to attach a pen and a pocket in back of journal for additional items like pictures, extra notes, mementos, etc. The paper is thick enough that there is no bleed through of the gel pens that I use. I’m highly impressed with this product and recommend it to anyone looking to journal. Read more

Well made and very attractive: I wanted something other than black. High quality materials, nice feel to cover (not slick) and well worth the money. Read more
