Dingbats* - Wildlife A6 Dotted Pocket Notebook - PU Leather Hardcover Small Journal for Work, Travel - Pocket, Elastic Closure, Pen Holder, Bookmark

I've always been a Moleskine fan, I was naive and thought there wasn't a better notepad. Most reviews focus on writing and bullet journaling and less on sketching/illustrating. I recently picked up a couple fountain pens to doodle, Moleskine paper doesn't handle ink very well. I became obsessed to find a book that would work for art without compromise.Enter Dingbats.Pros:-Right out of the packaging, it feels amazing. The faux leather feels durable and believable.-There are no weird smells from the material (since its not really leather)-Ink doesn't bleed-Ghosting isn't occurring-Band is quite strong-All pages are perforated.-Binding is great, I can open the book 180 and draw without issue.-Fits my Pilot pen perfectly.Con:-I really haven't found anything negative to say.Miscellaneous:-I plan on using watercolor on it, will report back if I run into issue.-If I could make a request: I wish there were more color options for paper color, it's a common cream tone. It would be nice to have a bright white or a grey tone.

Very nice and high quality but far smaller than I expected. Tiny. Would fit well in a chest pocket or Trump's fingers. Check the size before ordering to see if it fits you needs.

First, this is easily the most I have loved an A6-sized notebook. Feels solid, looks great, and I love the inclusion of a pen loop. Love the perforated pages, especially for what I've chosen to use this for. Vegan leather and recyclable paper is a plus as well, and I love the added design, which gives the notebook some personality without being too loud or shouting any branding at you.I'd considered using the notebook as a bullet journal, but shifted to using it as a Commonplace Book, for which it's been incredible.The paper has a wonderful thickness to it, with little to no bleed with any of the pens I've used on it. If I had to give one small gripe, it's that my UniBall Signo pen (my primary pen, more often than not) takes a little while longer to dry than I am used to and can smudge on occasion. It does still dry though, and it's not like it takes forever, but I felt it was worth noting.Also, wow, the customer service is amazing. I initially received a notebook where the ribbon bookmark fell off. I reached out/left a review and within a day, someone from Dingbats reached out to me about a replacement and said they'd be looking into the bookmark/ribbon issue overall. They were super awesome and kind about it, which I think deserves to be mentioned. The replacement arrived quickly and I have had nothing but a wonderful experience with it.It's so refreshing to see a company that cares that much. I'm planning on continuing to use these A6 notebooks as my go-to commonplace books moving forward. Definitely recommended.

Super cute but not fountain pen friendly lol at least not for bigger nibs. For smaller nibs like fine or extra fine you'll be okay. I use medium nibs and calligraphy nibs so I ended up giving this to my day. His favorite color is green and his favorite animal is deer so he was so happy. And this is smaller than a standard A6 it's more of a pocket sized so he literally carries it in his pocket at work.

It’s so small!! My only complaint is that somehow I missed that this is a tiny journal. I may keep it but I’m very disappointed. I can’t see journaling in this. Maybe some lists? Honestly it’s ridiculously small. It’s smaller than my hand and I am 5’2”!

I purchased these as an anniversary gift for my son and daughter-in-law for their first or “paper” anniversary. They had met while they were both working in Rwanda so I chose the elephant and the hippo which are animals that are indigenous to that country. These are very nice little notebooks.

I purchased this for a friend (who loves elephants) as a travel journal and it was a sturdy and thick journal, just the right size to throw in a backpack and not take up too much space. I didn't want to open the actual plastic wrapping around it because it was a gift, but from what I could see, the pages looked thick and of good quality. A little pricey, but for good reason.

I already loved the A5+ version of these Dingbats notebooks, so I had to get the smaller A6 version also!Dingbats has the perfect combination of features in their notebooks: thick but smooth paper, soft touch faux leather cover, elastic pen loop, ribbon bookmark, and rear cover pocket.After shopping around a lot, these are my favorite notebooks, and I will definitely be buying more!

Una libreta dotted de bolsillo para llevarlo cómodamente en la bolsa para utilizarlo como bullet journal.Las páginas no son blancas, tienen un tono amarillento, pero el grosor es suficiente para que no traspase el Tombow.Las tapas son bastante duras, forradas de poli piel, muy elegante.El resto es tal cual se ven en las imágenes.Espero que os sirvan de ayuda las imágenes incorporadas

This is my memory book I put sayings and quotes I need to refer back to. Ideal to keep in my handbag!!!! Love it!

I love this little book! It feels soft on the outside and the paper is soft, smooth and a lovely cream colour. The dots aren't too dark either. it's a pleasure to use!It's the perfect size to fit in a pocket whilst still big enough to actually use. Fountain pen ink doesn't bleed at all.Can tell it's very well made; the sticthing is great and it's a sturdy litle book, except for, the ribbon fell out and the pen loop has glue inside which sticks to the pen, makes it hard to get out of the loop. It could do with more elasticity to fit more sizes of pen. However these aren't exactly huge concerns... and easy enough to fix.Overall;I had a few options and I am glad I went with this one, and would definitely buy one of these little beauties againI 100% recommend this books and the company seems ethical and worth supporting

I'm overall very pleased with this notebook, which I use as a pocket bullet jornal. The paper is thick and nice to write on, it endures being erased over and over (I use pencil to write on it) remarkably well. I was concerned originally with the tear out pages, fearing that by turning over the pages they'd eventually start to fray at the top and bottom but that hasn't happened since I started using it in January.The reason for my three start review rather than four or five is that recently the ribbon has recently come off (see picture), something that's never happened to me before with a book or notebook and which I've found very disappointing for a product which is sold as top quality.

I bought this because I wanted to document my day to day thoughts during this high pressure Covid life.I bought the orange one because it had my tiger on the front. The quality of it did not let me down. I love it and its worth the extra few pounds to get this quality of note book. Fits in my bag like a dream and I have already written loads of notes in it. I look forward to buying another when this one is fullExcellent product and very high qualityCheck out the pictures for size and also for the great little notes holder at the end.
