Dotted Journal – 140gsm Bleed Proof Thick White Paper – 200 Numbered Dot Grid Notebook Pages – Lay Flat Binding a5 Dotted Notebook with 3 satin Bookmarks and Expandable Back Pocket

I wanted a robust 2021 bullet journal that was numbered. I've had this on my wishlist for a while and got it when it went on sale. So glad I did! The cover colors offered are excellent and varied, and I really wanted the bright yellow ever since I saw it. I have a few other 160gsm notebooks, but I don't mind slightly thinner paper, and 140gsm is still PLENTY hefty and that means more pages!! I've tried a few other Amazon-based brands for the new year and this one is definitely my favorite out of the ones I've gotten.PENS ON PAPERInk dries super quickly on this paper. It's very white, with a blue hue. I'll try to get pictures of these later, but my lighting is SO bad.Basically No Ghosting: Black Tombow Brush Pen, Dark Blue Mildliner, Sharpie Pen Black, Staedler Fineliner Black, Pen Mate Flair BlackDouble Layered w/ No Piling: Black Tombow Brush Pen, Dark Blue MildlinerMinimal Feathering, Mild Ghosting: Pilot Fine Tip w/Pilot Brand Black Ink. Note -- mild ghosting ONLY where you stop/start your pen, and these are the only areas with noticeable feathering.Regular Sharpie? It bleeds, because it's Sharpie.Regular Copic/Alcohol Based Black? It bleeds, because it's Copic.ODDITIES: Pale grey dots show up under the non-ghosting ink (Tombow, etc).COVER/STURDINESSSo, the colors are great, and the blank cover offered me the chance to add some vinyl decals of my choosing. Great, right? Super great! I have a lot of linen covers, and I was so ready to get back to leather-esque with the journal I beat up the most.Reader, this light-colored, fresh leatherette cover went through heck and back. I tried three different decals and messed up each one, having to pull them off. And by decals I mean vinyl decals, you know, the ones that don't budge. And you can only REALLY tell that the leatherette has been abused in certain light. It looks like wear. I now have a decal I like, but it stood up to my indecision which is pretty great. It also didn't "bow" away from the cover or wrinkle, so that means it's properly On there. There are grooves where the elastic holds it closed, but I don't think it detracts much, and it's nice to know exactly where the elastic is gonna go!The other bullet journal things are nicely formatted and professional looking. The dots are faint & the pages are well-aligned. One key page, three index pages, two pen test pages in the far back (I used the last dotted page as part of it as well, but that's me!). The numbers are very small and faint but I'm not particular, as long as they work, right? I liked the box it came in, and overall it's high quality. Love the color options -- the three bookmarks are in shades of orange/yellow and so nice! -- and I'd recommend this, even at the higher price point. I'm glad there was a sale because otherwise I might not have tried it, but it is comparable to other brands most definitely. I will likely be getting one again when I need a new one!

I use these to make a yearly planner and it helps me stay organized. The pages are nice and thick, and the cover looks so nice. I have used it all year and it has held up so well. I love these and I’m about to buy another one for next year’s planner!

I am very impressed. I do bullet journaling and have/used many different journals. After lots of research, I chose this one and I'm glad I did. It hits the points for everything I want/need. Firstly, it comes in a very nice box and is obviously packed with love. Pages are a bright white and are thick and sturdy. There are three bookmarks, index, pen test, pretty much everything I need in a notebook. The cover seems like it would be dented easily as there are already indentations from the bungy that keeps it closed but this doesn't really matter to me. Overall, very happy and impressed. Haven't started using it yet but I know I'll be very happy with it.Update: 12/3/21I've used this journal almost everyday for a year now and this is definitely my favorite bullet journal. I am extremely picky and have a really hard time wanting to keep the same journal for an extended period of time. I usually use one for a few months and then it ceases to spark joy for me and so I find a different one. This one has kept me very happy with it for over a year now and I would absolutely buy it again. While it isn't perfect, it's pretty darn close and the only two issues are pretty understandable given that I've opened and closed this book countless of times for almost 365 days. It's traveled with me and has been used a lot. The pages have been sturdy and are just so wonderfully thick. I used a lot of markers in it and there was only the slightest of ghosting every so often and it was pretty minimal considering how much I've filled the pages. The pages feel so good to write on. Really smooth and good quality. The pocket was very handy and I used it a lot. The pen loop is always great to have. The cover has held up really well although I can't see how the material would've been because I always cover my journals up with stickers. My only issues were that a lot of the bindings split. It started splitting on the first page between the front cover and the start of the journal. I remedied this by using washi tape. There are several more splits where the threads that bind the book have loosened. The elastic that keeps the journal closed wore through a bit at the top but again, I've used this a lot. I would still buy this journal again a thousand times and highly recommend it.

I really only have one complaint about this journal. The pen loop is in a weird place right In the center of the journal, so my pen would hang off the edge....but this ended up not mattering. The penloop is glued in to the binding...and the glue gave out only a few days into my usage. I was really disappointed. Other than that quality issue, this makes a great bullet journal. It has thick, numbered pages (200) that stand up to all sorts of pens. It has dedicated pages for a pen test, index and key. The binding lays flat and the faux leather cover stands up nicely to every day use. It has backpocket. I also liked the three satin ribbon bookmarks. I suggest painting the ends of the boomarks with clear nailpolish to prevent fraying. I wish it had archival label stickers.

Das Journal hat für mich persönlich zu wenige Seiten, ist aber einfach nur toll. Die Seitendicke ist gut, ich finde es super das es eine extra Pentesting Seite gibt, das lila...atemberaubend. Qualität ist super, es liegt schön flach auf dem Tisch. Super Journal!Ich habe es sogar trotzdem behalten und werde es für was anderes nutzen.
