LEUCHTTURM1917 - Notebook Hardcover Medium A5-251 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Black, Dotted)The Forest Stewardship Council

It’s a great notebook. At first I was worried about the ghosting but actually that doesn’t bother me at all. You can see through the pages a little bit, but I like that. I spilled a whole cup of water on the notebook as I was writing in it, so I left it open to dry and you can’t even tell it got wet. The pages didn’t seem to soak up the water- thought that was interesting. I love writing in it. Well made, good paper. I use uniball pens and I like they way they feel on it- a little scratchy but I find it satisfying

beautiful color and sturdy feel. not a fan of the grey string attatched but i do like the yellow one. pages are thin so it doesnt work well for heavy mediums like watercolor gouache or alcohol markers. for me this isn't an issue cus i like thin pages and i mostly work with gel pens and pencil. soft feel to it as well. great for being a junk journal/sketchbook and i also love scrapbooking and making the book thick. ive bought a leuchtturm book before and its the ONLY sketchbook i ever finished... the sizing is great as well (unlke the moleskins where those are thinner width wise). definitely an acquired taste though

I prefer these to moleskin, I like that theyre thicker (more pages) and chunkier, I also like to write on the graphed paper, it's very satisfying.

These are the best notebooks. I use a variety of pens when journaling and the pages hold up to all of them. The paper is smooth and luxurious, the notebook has a nice weight to it, and I really appreciate the elastic closure as well as the place holder string. They’re a little pricey, especially given how quickly I go through them, but their quality is well worth the cost.

Great journal and superb for bullet journaling and or writing. Color is what I look for when selecting journals and paper quality makes a difference. Leuchtturm really excels here. Pair with a great pen (Both the Leuchtturm and Lamy are great choices)

Big fan of these and have been using for close to four years now. I've been beating my most recent one up a bit, and it's not quite as durable as I would've liked. I love the olive color.

Thoughtful, simple, timeless. Nice layout, smooth writing. Think with your hands.

I will admit, I have been burned by journals before. Whether they are far too yellow, have annoying date sections at the top of every page, or have my pens bleed through... This journal surprised me. While the pages are a cream color, they don't distract from the stickers that I like to put down to decorate. The ghosting is minimal on a good pen and my Ohuhu pens worked for headers without having to worry about the other side.I have greatly enjoyed this notebook in the short amount of time I've used it. The cover is solid and I don't worry about the pages getting banged up. I have thoroughly used the two bookmarks for making sure I don't have to look through my sorrows just to find where I was writing some more. The rounded pages help make sure that when writing your pages won't get messed up since points tend to fold in. Overall this is a great choice for your personal journaling. Note that I am not a fountain pen user but I think that if you use those that you kind of have to deal with ghosting and bleeding depending on your ink. I do doubt that you could use alcohol markers without bleeding through two pages.Every day I come back to this journal and never once have I thought "I should migrate into a new journal to fix xyz." There is no xyz to fix for me, this is the perfect journal for everyday journaling and memory keeping. It is small enough to take it on the go and sturdy enough that I am comfortable leaving it in my backpack when I go to my classes.
