Nice Black Notebook Ruled - Soft Cover Faux Leather Journal - 120GSM Premium Writing Paper - 200 Numbered Pages - A5 High End Black Journal Lined - Black Leather Journal For Men & Women

I'd never heard of this brand, but the 120gsm paper and other desirable features convinced me to give it a shot. I'm glad I did.Excellent paper quality and design. I love the index and page numbers. Makes finding and keeping track of notable entries much easier.The pen I use for journaling produces very dark and bold lines that tend to bleed or ghost through most paper. With this paper there is no bleeding, and ghosting is only noticeable with a source of light behind the page. I'll definitely be buying again. Great value for the price, especially compared to some other well-known brands.

I bought this for my wife who loves to write and sketch. She always has a journal with her and I wanted to give her something to encourage her creativity.Well, I hit a home run with this - she LOVED it! Some of her comments were:"I love the cute little numbers!" (each page is numbered)"The cream color is so modern!""The pocket is a nice touch" (there is an accordion pocket in the back that opens inward, to keep small documents from falling out easily""It smells so good!" ( I guess other journals can stink like glue, but this one doesn't)For me, I thought the cover felt wonderful. It's advertised as faux leather so it's kind of a suede that is really easy to hold on to.I thought it was a nice touch that it came with a beautifully embossed card that encourages you to write down goals - something I'm personally struggling with in this "work from home" phase of my career.All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase and will probably buy another for myself before too long.

I’ve been keeping a bullet journal for 5 years and have gone through several different journals over time. This has quickly become one of my favorites. The paper is thick and has a lovely texture and cream color. So far I haven’t seen any bleeding or shadowing. A surprise bonus is that it LAYS FLAT!! And it has quite a few more pages than most journals of this style. The cover is soft but sturdy. Its design is simple and functional, easy to customize. The only thing I miss is a band to keep it closed. A little worried about dog-earring the pages, because it goes with me everywhere in my bag. But if it becomes a problem I’m sure I can find a strap or something to add on. Overall a beautiful journal, good for whatever you need it to do.

I love this journal. The brown leafed paper looks very nice - very simple and yet classy.I originally bought because I needed thicker paper for my Pilot Custom 823 fountain pen and the pages work very well with no bleed.It has 211 pages - the dotted version has more lines to write on per page. About 36 compared to the wider spaced 24 that you get with the lined one. I prefer the smaller spacing, but either one is great.I will say that I immediately cut off the little trinket - the metal on the bookmark is annoying and if you cut it you get two ribbons instead of one.

This is the first "real" notebook I've ever bought. I've mostly relied on those cheap school notebooks and the occasional stylish one to mix things up a little, but I've never paid this much for a proper notebook. Or even something with this type of cover! It's really satisfying to hold and touch, and the cream one has this nice kinda vintage quality to it. Love the color and the contrast between it and the brown bookmark and interior.I also like how it even includes a table of contents (which I'm not sure if I'll use or not), which makes me more inclined to use this for future novels. There's a back pocket too, which I appreciate but don't know what to use for yet. For now, it's just the little info card/discount code. It's way too early to say I'll be buying more of these, but I've got a good feeling about this one!

Really is easy to use with a fountain pen. Ink doesn't run through the next page. So far, love it

This is the 3rd notebook I’ve ordered from LeStallion and I am beyond impressed with this company and their product! Not only do they offer amazing products that are true to the description and are a pleasure to carry, write on, and look at; they have the customer service skills to back it. After all three items, I received kind and personalized emails from the founder. I decided to write back and see if it was just automated or not. It was not! I was able to thank them for their products and the hard work that goes into creating such a beautiful product and I also was treated incredibly kindly by the founder. Not to be cliché but I felt like a valued customer! I’m already getting ready to order a 4th notebook (I do a lot of writing and have separate journals for different purposes). I’m incredibly pleased with this company in all aspects. Thank you LeStallion for making this super picky “journal snob” incredibly happy! I highly recommend this company and their products to anyone!!

I work in a fast paced office setting where at times it is impossible to remember everything so I wanted something relatively small in size without being afraid of damaging the outside if I were to carry it around. I am absolutely in love with it, the pages are a thicker material perfect for writing, no bleeding into other pages. The outside is a nice leather feel and the design is sleek. One of the things that I really wanted was a lay flat notebook and even though I did have to bend it a bit in order for it to lay flat it does work for what I needed so still 5 stars, extremely satisfied! Will be purchasing again in the future. :)
