HouseBooks are beautiful, functional journals built to a higher standard than the mass-produced notebooks that flood the market. From cover to binding to paper, you'll notice the journal's quality and craftsmanship every time you write. With an American-made, fine linen cover and heavyweight book board, this notebook will endure no matter where your travels take you. Permanent binding, sewn by a bindery in the Midwest, ensures that pages will not loosen or fall out and will lay flat each time you write. Locally printed paper is extra heavyweight, acid-free archival quality, minimizing show-through and preserving your work for years to come. Every HouseBook is made of 100% recycled board and 30% recycled SFI, SCF certified papers, so you can help care for the earth you love to explore.

One of those "shut up and take my money" products, made even better bc they don't want a lot of it. More colors though, please!
Got to echo the others that have praised the durability, craftsmanship, and affordability of these journals. I have only two notes - the paper is a bit blinding in its whiteness if that makes sense - I use black sharpie writing pens with this, and they work very well and have high contrast and no bleeding. (You can only see words on the other side of a sheet by having a lot of light behind it. Lying open, the paper only shows what is on the surface facing you.) Secondly, more colors, please! I expect i could go through several of these in a relatively short period, and I would much prefer to have the different volumes be visually distinct from each other. A robust earthy yellow would be awesome, for example. (Hint hint) Or a vibrant magenta or - well you all know what colors look like. Still neither of these concerns were enough to have me feel that four stars was more accurate a representation of my 4.5 impression than full marks would be. I like these better than the expensive thin paper moleskines, and better even than the shinolas, even though the latter are not so bright white. Short version: these folks make an excellent product that easily holds its own against the more costly well known brands.

A perfect journal to paint and decorate!
This journal is exactly what I have been looking for to complete an art project! I wanted a blank cover made of linen so I could paint something on the cover. This was perfect! The size is just right. The lined pages seem to be sewn to the spine well and securely. There is a ribbon bookmark attached to easily hold your place. This is a great product!!

Quality product, great price
Favorite notebook I've ever owned.I will never stop loving the beautiful color options.What I love so much about these notebooks is not only the outstanding durability, but how simple yet gorgeous they are. The size is also perfect for easily bringing along with me. Admittedly, I tend to be rough with my belongings, but this notebook shows no wear at all.

Covered in filth
The book seems to be of high quality and I like it a lot, but it came in a very bad condition. It was covered in black filth for some reason. I could wipe off most of it, but there are still some spots that won't come off.
