LEUCHTTURM1917Notebook Hardcover Medium A5-251 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Purple, Squared)

I've been using this journal over a year now, and really love it. It still looks awesome on the outside... and on the inside, well, there you'd find my private thoughts and artwork. I use this notebook exclusively with fountain pen inks... a variety of inks. Usually there's no bleed through. Occasionally there is. As an artist, my challenge is to make the bleed through situations into something beautiful. I find that to be a lot of fun... so am staying positive and not complaining.This is a great notebook for writing in. There's an index of several pages at the beginning, and the pages are numbered, so it is perfect for use as a bullet journal or writer's journal, or whatever you like. The pages seem kind of thin, but still good quality. I have other bullet journals with thicker pages. But it is what it is and either you like it for what it is or you don't. I would not hesitate to buy another journal like this one, when this is full. However - if I was to do it again, I wouldn't limit myself just to fountain pen ink in this journal. Probably there are other pens that would be better for this one, like the  Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens  which are bright and beautiful and will not bleed through. (I just tried them on my pen check page at the back of the notebook, and they are perfect for this thickness and quality of paper.The cover of my Leuchtturm 1917 is hardcover, and the color is pink... what they call berry. It is so pretty. I'm glad I bought this one. It comes with the elastic, as pictured, and there's a nice sturdy pocket on the inside back cover. I've found it very handy for smaller items I pick up during my travels. The endpapers are white... a sort of creamy white. Everything about this notebook journal speaks quality.I've used this as a travel journal, for recording quotes, and as a memoir journal, using a prompt book. I'm not using it for my daily observations of life, though it could be that type of journal if need be. I do a lot of ink painting in this journal. I use the same inks I put into my fountain pens -  Noodlers Inks  in a variety of colors, and  De Atramentis® Document Ink . I've also used the  Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens  in this journal. It does well with all, but as you can imagine, if I put on the ink too thickly there's that risk of bleed through... so I've learned how much to use, and how much I can get away with layering it before the ink goes through the paper. It is a learning process.Recently I used a pen with a medium nib, and that bled through. Not good... and usually I use the extra-fine nibs which are better for preventing bleed through. Not a problem though - I turned the page and used the bleed-through page to create a bit of art using fountain pen ink applied by water brushes. I like the way it turned out even with the bleed through - it became part of the art.So, if you're looking for a good quality notebook with thin paper... numbered, with an index and pocket, this could be the right journal for you. I recommend it. I like all the colors, especially the berry pink which is so, so pretty. No complaints from me.

The dots in the page matrix are spaced well and just the right intensity to be unobtrusive. Paper stock is sturdy and has minimal bleed through, even with liquid gel inks. The 37 rows per page allows day-of-the month rows with space for column headings in tracking spreads. The basics such as page numbering and contents section are there too. All in a solid cover and binding at a standard A5 sizing, with many covers available if desired, but not needed.

•good paper•10/10 amount of paper•perfect size to always have by your side•10/10 quality•the paper doesn’t smell (like some journals do)•love the color options, it’s like a stanley but notebook•great for scrapbooking, journaling, calendars, etc<the only thing is it’s pretty expensive, however the price comes with quality><could you find some other notebook the same but cheaper? probabl- but this one is right here so idk i would spend the extra to get this again next year>

I have tried many models of journals, but the quality of this product exceeds the rest! The pages don't bleed through. Page numbers and dots blend into the background, there to guide, but not overwhelming my text or drawings. Sturdy, lies flat for hours of comfortable writing and illustrating. True to the Bullet Journal design, and there is a new color for every year.

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 really like this brand and the notebook itself is very nice and sturdy, and the paper does feel luxurious as another poster said. However, the paper is also surprisingly thin. I have not yet found a pen that does not show through if you use both front and back of the page. And believe me, I have tried many, many, MANY pens. I know a lot of bullet journalers love this notebook, but when I tried, it just didn't work for me. Especially with any sort of drawing, markers, colored pencils, etc. it just became pretty much impossible to use both sides of a page. For some of my spreads, I actually ended up using double sided tape to stick two pages together so there wouldn't be bleed-through. I don't really bullet journal as such, so I'm still debating about whether or not I'll get another one of these for my every day notes and lists. The bleed-through isn't as big of a deal to me if I'm not using it for more artistic purposes, but still not ideal.The things I like about it most are:- the dotted grid- the fact that it will lay flat and doesn't wear out the binding- it has a nice pocket at the back which opens towards the binding, so stuff doesn't fall out easily (really nice design, good job on that)- it has a lot of pages for its size- it includes two built-in bookmarks, which I especially like because I always have more than one thing I need to be able to locate easily- the built-in elastic closure- although I don't use them, it comes with stickers for labelingI've tried other notebooks that have some of these features, but this is the only one I know of that has all of them. So for me the only real drawback is how thin the pages are (I guess that's how they get so many pages in!) but it's a big enough drawback to likely keep me from purchasing another one. It's a little pricey for a notebook - I don't mind that for something I love that I'm going to use every day, and that will keep me inspired and motivated to use it every day. But in spite of that I'm not sure it's worth it for the pages that are too thin to be able to use it the way I really want to.This isn't a complaint about the product, but I ordered the emerald green color (which is really kind of a bright turquoise and I love it) but what I got was the army green, which is a really deep olive color and not at all my thing. I needed it quickly and needed to use it pretty much as soon as I got it, so I didn't bother returning it or complaining because I was leaving the country and taking it with me. I also thought it was possible I clicked on the wrong color when ordering, but looking back over the order now, I definitely chose emerald green and they just sent me the wrong one. But since the color is unappealing to me, once I used it for what I really needed it for, I didn't continue to use it. Not intentionally, but I realize it just didn't inspire me or make me happy to use like ones I've had in the past in colors I loved, so I just gradually stopped keeping it with me or reaching for it. I didn't knock any stars off because of it, because this is a review of the product and not the seller, but I'm still kind of bummed about that.

Love the colour, the pocket at the end, simple design, it's perfect!

Un cuaderno muy práctico y útil para el trabajo!

Si eres fan de hacer tus notas muy fancy es ideal para ti, puedes usarlo como diario o para tus apuntes, yo elegí los cuadros

O produto cumpre com o prometido pela marca. A qualidade é insuperável se comparado a Moleskines, cadernos da Cicero e quaisquer outros. Entenda: é um produto caro e cuja função será EXATAMENTE a mesma de um caderno moleskine ou cícero. Não vai mudar sua vida. Se não quer gastar dinheiro e sua ideia é só escrever em um caderno de "couro" (nenhum deles, nem esse, usa couro legítimo), compre um Cicero de 70 reais. O Leuchtturm1917 é um produto premium, para um nicho muito específico. Esse é um produto para quem verdadeiramente aprecia a escrita, o despejar dos pensamentos no papel, aquela pessoa que faz diários ou que anota tudo do trabalho. Se vc quer ter o melhor tipo de produto dessa categoria, vá de Leuchtturm. Mas, novamente, é um produto muito caro, então é preciso verdadeiramente se perguntar o porquê que vc precisa gastar mais de 300 reais em um caderno. Aqui você estará pagando pela marca, pela qualidade e pelo acabamento, não é um produto mágico que só por tê-lo você vai se tornar uma pessoa organizada ou um grande escritor. Saiba o que está comprando.

I bought the medium dotted notebook specifically because it has so many numbered pages (251) and a table of contents/index at the beginning. Unfortunately when it came, there are only 2 one-sided pages for table of contents - 56 spots in total! That means I won’t be able to make a reference for 3/4 of the book unless I glue extra pages in.I guess I just assumed that if the book comes with a table of contents then it would have enough lines for the number of pages in the book. Really disappointed, I splurged and spent so much extra because it’s a highly rated brand but I could’ve gotten the function I needed from a basic dollar store notebook instead.
