Dotted Grid Notebook/Journal, Dot Grid Hard Cover Notebook, 120gsm Premium Thick Paper with Fine Inner Pocket for School & Office Supplies, Black Smooth Faux Leather, 5''×8.25''

I ordered ten, because of the lower cost compared to other notebooks. I do bullet journaling, nothing too crazy, need it for work mostly. It’s perfect for functional planning, task lists and notes. Not too thick, heavy or flimsy. Not as wide as other notebooks, I prefer the slim size and the black looks professional. Very similar to other purchases I’ve made but less expensive and still good quality. Very pleased, will order again.

Bound notebooks have sky rocketed in price since I started using one on a daily basis back in the 90s. On a whim, I tried this one and am very pleased. Given the price difference between this one and some of the others I have purchased, it is a great buy. Paper is good quality. Bleed through is comparable to more expensive notebooks (Sharpie perm markers leave a slight image, no bleed through; everyday use markers no image and no bleed through). There is a pocket attached to back cover. Thus far, binding has held up nicely and I have no reason to believe this will change as use increases. If I were to make a very minor suggestion - a second or third page ribbon would be very nice. But, that is a nice to have and not a must have. I like the price more than I miss a 2nd or 3rd page marker.

Last year, I used a Rhodia blank book for my bullet Journal. I was searching online for the same Journal when I came across this one. In reality, I thought I was buying the same thing. When it came and I compared the two journals, I realized that they were not the same brand. That being said, the quality is excellent. The paper is nice and smooth with a dot grid. It is heavy and does not bleed through. It feels very nice to the touch, both the paper and the cover. The main difference is that it is not as wide as the rodia. As you can see by the photo it is probably three eighths of an inch narrower. The pages lay nice and flat, The Binding is nice. I am very happy with my purchase. At less than half the price.

This is an amazing product and i have been using it for more than half a year. I totally recommend this product for anyone since its pretty inexpensive and can last a whole year. Pros: Can use it for the whole year Cover is hardcover, so it doesn't bend and fray Has a bookmark so you can mark what page you were on Thick paper (120 gsm) It has a pocket at the end of the book which is helpful in storing lots of little loose leaf papers Cons: Even though the paper is thick, I don’t recommend to use a lot of watercolor since it does warp the paper and cause the color to fade to the next page but I’m totally fine with it The glue that’s binding the paper does start to come of but I just super glue it back together

I have used most other brands of writing books in this style and they have all been good but significantly more expensive than this Dot Grid Hard Cover Journal. I am fussy about paper because I write with fountain pens 95% of the time and I have no problems with ink seeping through the pages with these books (unlike some of the more expensive competitors in the marketplace.) The paper is smooth and fine point fountain pens write on it as though that were designed with these pages in mind. I use these at work for notetaking and because of the number of books I get through a year, I have tried many others to try and find a top rate book at a reasonable enough price for me to use them year-round at work. Now I have found these I will continue to buy them. I file my notebooks when they are full and a bookshelf full of notebooks that are the same size, design, and brand is aesthetically pleasing

If you’re going to start bullet journaling I would definitely start with this one. The quality of paper is thick and looks great. The book is a good size as well. There is a little bleed through with certain markers but as long as you make a test page it is easy to avoid. I noticed sharpies definitely bleed through but I have so many other different markers so it was easy to find ones that do not. overall, I am very happy with this purchase because I am going to use it to start journalling and for the quality of a starter book, you can’t beat the price!

I use this as a daily planner and journal. I spend a few minutes in the morning laying out the format to my liking. I use their pens too. There is little/no bleed thru between pages. Very happy with the pens and the notepads. I provided an example of a daily entry. Obviously you can do whatever you want but I like a journal on the left, schedule and tasks on the right. I have customized it to track my weight, treadmill activity and workouts. Most planners weigh you down with a lot of motivational/review cruft and charge a lot more. If you are willing to spend a few minutes laying it out in the morning you can save yourself a lot of money and get exactly what you want.

I’ve been deeply satisfied with these notebooks. I bought them as I was starting in to some online classes and wanted a clean way to keep track of my notes. The dot grid has been very helpful while sketching design patterns and the books themselves have been a joy to work with. Much more refined than I was anticipating. The covers feel soft to the touch and the paper is of high quality. The elastic band really feels as though it will hold up over time. While I haven’t used the back pocket yet it also gives the distinct impression of being quite robust.

Good diary, the paper it really good and pretty much nothing smudges. A little thinner then a A5 but pretty close.
