PRODUCTIVITY STORE Leather Notebook & Journal | A5 5" x 8" Hardcover Vegan Leather Notebook With Thick Premium 120gsm Ruled Lined Paper | Notebook For Writers, Executives & Students | Brown

Love the book, love the size, but several of the pages came ripped. The rips are the exact same on several pages (~10) so obviously an issue with production.

I really enjoy this journal and the quality. The material of the front is great and the color is a pretty pink. I also really enjoyed the bonus stickers that came with it. I like won't use them in this journal but I will elsewhere around the house. I also really like that their is a ribbon to make the page and an elastic to keep it closed. There is a pocket in the back to allow you to place any lose slips of paper so they don't fall out as well. I use these for work and keep all my running notes/ task lists in them. Then if I have any sticky notes I pop them in the pocket in the back. It helps when traveling between my home office and work office different days of the week as I no longer forget the notes that wold be on my desk.

Overall, this is a lovely journal. The cover has a nice texture and feel, and it's sturdy enough to hold up to writing on a lap without a hard surface to rest on. The journal lies flat, making it easier to write no matter which page you're on.The pages are fairly smooth, with just a little bit of tooth that makes them easier to turn. They're an ivory-cream color that's warm enough to ease eye strain but light enough that it doesn't interfere with the ink's color; even a fairly pale, unsaturated blue and a light-to-medium green look just as they're supposed to. There's also very little ghosting, even with dark inks.For the most part, this is a gorgeous journal that would make a great gift. It played well with every ballpoint and rollerball I tried, and even a somewhat wet gel pen that's prone to smearing dried quickly on the pages.However, it's not completely fountain pen friendly. It did well with drier inks and finer pens, but once I got up to a medium nib with a moderately wet ink, I started to notice a little bit of feathering. I also got small spots of bleed-through with an Omniflex nib and a 1.1 mm stub. Shimmer inks came out OK on this paper, but it seems to absorb sheen: an extreme sheener shows a moderate amount of sheen in this journal, and the moderate sheeners have little to none.That said, this is a quality journal that many people will love. It's pleasant to both look at and write in. As long as you're not planning heavy fountain pen use with wet inks or broad nibs, it should meet your needs.

Cover has a nice texture and feel. Pages lay flat. Paper is 120gsm and works well with ballpoint gel and fountain pens. At 120gsm some markers will bleed. The pages are slightly ivory, which I usually do not like, but the color is very subtle and I don’t mind it. It has a back pocket for small notes and one ribbon bookmark. Elastic band holds the journal closed.

This is a cool notebook to use for regular note taking. It has this nice mini pocket on the inside to put maybe a pen or sticky notes inside.I’ll recommend it to anyone as a personal treat or gift for someone.

This is a very cute and very durable notebook. The cover is really nice and soft and the inside is ruled and easy to write in. I haven’t had any issue with bleed through on the pages.

The pictures online show this notebook well. I don't know what "vegan leather" is, but it looks and feels good, and it's well-tucked behind the covers. The page lines are light enough not to be distracting and the paper is thick enough to allow me the use of my fountain pen without much worry of bleed-through. The binding seems up to the task, even when folding out flat on my desk. I like the ribbon placeholder--it's a common element of notebooks like this, but some are better than others. This one works fine.

This is a lovely notebook, it looks and feels like a nice treat to yourself. The exterior is a faux-suede and it's thick and not easy to bend. The page binding seems very solid and the paper is nice quality as well. I really like this light blue color (like a paler Tiffany Blue) and the off-white page color. There is a place-keeping ribbon, an elastic to hold the notebook shut, and a pocket in the back to hold small items. Very suitable for most people's notebook applications. Especially nice if you're looking for a journal you intend to keep long-term.
