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

Heads up - if you want a certain page style be sure to check that under the color. I meant to get lined but dotted was checked by default and I wasn't paying attention.That said, it's a happy mistake for me because I'd never used dotted pages before and it turns out they rock. I like being able to use pages horizontally and they make it easier to make even columns.As far as quality this thing actually feels like a solid book which is what I was looking for. I also LOVE the Port Red color (kind of like a purpley red), it looks even better in person. The bookmark ribbons are soft and sturdy too. I checked out a lot of different journals but I think it was worth paying a few dollars more for a Leuchturmm1917.

Está marca es mi favorita de libretas, la calidad del papel, textura color y las marcas de los puntos la hace muy cómoda tanto para sketches como para tomar notas

I really love these notebooks. I find the size to be just right -- big enough to use for monthly and weekly calendar layouts, or for making hefty to-do lists, but small enough to fit in my bag without taking up too much space. I love that it has two bookmarks and the elastic to hold it closed. I love that it comes in hardcover, so it's harder for me to destroy it. And this might be my favorite paper for fountain pens. It feels nice with any pen, but I tend to use fountain pens. I have found that some paper meant specifically for fountain pens is too slick for my taste. This paper is very smooth, but a touch more porous than some fountain pen specific papers, and I really prefer it that way. I've been using a Micron Graphic 1 for my calendar outlines -- it does show through quite a bit, but that is not a problem because I line up my calendars so that they overlap with what is on the opposite side of the page, if that makes sense. Regular fountain pens don't show through to distraction.I actually replaced my Hobonichi Techo planner with one of these. But went for the notebook instead of the planner so I can do a planner/BuJo hybrid with layouts the way I like them.

I used others less expensive journals but fell apart in months. Leuchtturm 1917 is well built and last with daily use. Pages are heavy with little bleed through. Would recommend to anyone who love to write or keep notes.

I prefer this notebook to any other, the paper is smooth, my pens do not leak through the pages and I can put the notebook for so it is easy to write in no matter what page or side I am writing on. Great quality notebook! I also love the light dotted matrix as it keeps my lines straight without adding a lot of extra to the page. Also easy to work outside of the lines like with drawings.

I've been keeping a journal of some type for decades. I've tried every variety and these Leuchturm journals are the best in my opinion.They are sturdy and substantial. They open flat, they have two placeholder ribbons and a pocket in the back that can hold a lot of stickers, receipts, business cards, etc. They come in many colors and they have an index in the front as well as stickers for the spine and front cover if you want to label your books. The pages are thick enough that most inks won't bleed through. I get the dotted grid because I feel it is the most versatile for doing drawn layouts. It also helps keep my writing straight and well spaced.I've used Rhodia, Miquelris and Moleskine in addition to various school type notebooks and hardback notebooks from office supply shops. I really love the Leuchturm because the quality and features are worth the price.

I am only 3 pages in, so far. The color is bright, and the hard cover is good and firm. When I open it all the way/beyond 180 degrees, I do not (yet) hear glue cracking, which hopefully indicates that the pages/cover are solidly connected.I like the TOC and the numbered pages. There's also a pocket in the back and an elastic strap that matches the color of the book.My only complaint is that the pages are thin, and there's some bleed-through. For a notebook this expensive, I want to use a decent pen and expect the pages not to be thin. Currently using a Pilot G2 Extra Fine pen and getting some bleed through.

I love Leuchterm. They're just great. Thicker pages, easy writing on them. Lots of colors (I go through 12 a year, so I like to rotate colors), and they are extremely durable.I love the Index space. And I SOMETIMES even use the pocket in the back. I do use the multiple page finders/ribbon bookmarks a lot, and the fact that these are $20 a pop actually makes me treat them more with the reverence they deserve.The ONLY issue I have right now is that sometimes the pages stick together closest to the spine. I have to pull the edge of the page away from the middle as I'm holding them open. So that's about it. Still well worth the money, even though they're twice as expensive as my last journals.They are precious to me...(insert picture of Gollum here)
