LEUCHTTURM1917Notebook Softcover Paperback B6+ - 123 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Dotted, Powder)

I love the size of this notebook (B6) with its softcover and the choice of colors offered. I appreciate the elastic band to hold it closed and the pocket inside the back cover. What made me choose this over another brand, in addition to the color and the pocket, are the numbered pages. It's a great notebook for all sorts of uses but as a writer who likes to write first drafts of novels with pen and paper, and who travels and wants to take her writing with her, and who needs to travel light, this is a great option.

I should preface by saying I’m a lifetime journal keeper and pretty picky about my paper and pens. I much prefer these to the Moleskine notebooks. Ciak is also a great brand that runs in the same price range as this notebook.I ordered in yellow with dotted pages - true to color and as depicted. I use this as my regular journal. It is sturdy and well bound. The pages are the slightest bit too sheer so I am careful to use lighter colored felt tipped pens because it can show through to the other side of a page. I like the thickness - which is really “thinness.” I prefer thinner notebooks as they are more portable and it’s satisfying to finish them every few months instead of once a year. Looking forward to purchasing another one in a new color!

I used to use another well known brand but the quality declined so i decided to try LEUCHTTURM and soooo glad I did! After heavy use, the edges on the cover stay intact. Love that it has a pocket on the back and book mark ribbons. The paper quality is also great. The band keeps the notebook tidy. Also great to have vibrant color options. If you like taking pen/pencil paper type notes, this is worth the money.

Great quality! Highly recommended

Amazing quality. Easy to write on, and no loss of integrity after writing on it fully-opened and pressed against surface/table.

These are hands down the best notebooks. The paper is thick enough for fountain pens, pages are numbered, there is a contents page. Such simple perfection!

I use Leuchtturm1917 A5 notebooks or Bullet Journal for my normal planner. I use the B6+ for individual projects. For me it is the perfect size for projects.

I first reviewed this notebook about a year ago and gave it a two-star rating due to paper quality, as I had experienced significant ghosting and bleed through on the test pages I did in the back of the notebook. However, after finally getting around to using this notebook a bit more throughly (as a garden journal), I discovered that the quality on those initial pages did not really reflect the paper quality of the pages throughout most of the rest of the notebook. I guess it was a fluke that I received a book with a few wonky pages in the back. I decided to rewrite my review after using this notebook a bit more thoroughly, as my impressions have changed quite a bit.In my earlier review, I mentioned that the binding in these notebooks is excellent and that still holds true. The covers are rich, vibrant and very flexible. I find the two thin ribbons quite convenient and I appreciate the pocket in the back of each notebook. The pocket comes in handy for storing small things like receipts, tickets, passes, etc. It’s thick and well made, so it doesn’t interfere with drawing in the journal, even when you have several things in there. I actually have a couple of herb seed packets (small seeds) in there right now and they aren’t causing any issues as I write! I never feel the outer elastic of the notebook as I’m writing, either, which is a bonus.As for the paper quality, it’s better than I initially thought. Ghosting is very noticeable, so if you don’t like seeing your writing from the front of a sheet on the back, this is NOT the right notebook for you. That said, on the thin, cream-colored pages, I don’t actually mind the ghosting at all. It reminds me of older books with thin pages where you see the text from the back to the front. I actually rather like it. If I want a clean illustration with nothing showing through from behind it, I simply leave the other side of the page blank. Unfortunately, in a notebook with so few pages, leaving pages blank is not necessarily ideal. Still, I don’t find that I do it very often.As for bleed through, it is actually much more minimal overall than my initial test pages suggested. I found most fineliners, Tombow brush pens, Artist Loft brush pens and even some water-based markers and highlighters don’t really bleed unless you linger too long in one place. It’s also a bit color dependent in the case of markers. But, overall, bleeding really isn’t bad on this paper. I have not tried watercolor or gouache at this point, so I don’t know if there would be bleed through. I have not tried fountain pens yet, either. I would be hesitant to do so, TBH.My biggest complain is really the price of these notebooks for the amount of pages that you get. There are 123 numbered pages in this notebook, which really isn’t a lot. These notebooks wouldn’t be suitable for a bullet journal setup unless you want to use about six of them per year, which would get quite costly. They would be suitable for a B6-Slim sized traveler’s notebook setup, but depending on how often you’d need to swap them out, the price could get rather high over time. I’m also not a fan of built-in indexes or pre-numbered pages. But, it’s really a personal preference. Some people love them, just not me. The numbering on the pages is quite light, so it’s not distracting, but I do prefer to add page numbers myself.I actually like this notebooks much more than I initially did, so I have raised my review to 4 stars, knocking one star for the price point, as I do think it’s too high for the number of pages in a notebook. Whether you’ll like this notebook will depend heavily on how you feel about ghosting, thin pages and pre-numbering, as well as what materials you’d like to use in its pages.If you found this review helpful, please mark it as ‘helpful’ to let others know. Thanks! :)

A bit pricey, but I enjoyed this notepad.

Ce carnet est très pratique en voyage. Petite taille mais pas ridicule, léger, avec une poche à soufflet, un élastique pour le fermer. Mais la couleur orange n'est pas terrible, c'est le même orange que les carnets vendus en supermarché.

from such a well-known brand like leuchtturm, i expected way more than this. i have used the A5 version of the exact same brand before for the same price and never had any problems with it. and that was the exact expectation i had from this one as well. B6 has always been a size i wanted to try out and this, however, is not worth the money AT ALL!! it was such a waste of my time and money. being a person who writes a lot and is a journal enthusiast, i dont think i would be able to fit even two months in this journal. i could find stuff like this in any local stationery store and for a way cheaper price. won’t recommend you all spend your money on this. can’t believe i paid 1,400 rupees for this, when my local store could sell it for less than 200 rupees. i better get a refund

Eines der besten Journale am Markt. Vor allem in der Größe B6+ meiner Meinung nach viel handlicher zum mitführen als bspw. A5-Format. Gute Papier-Quality und Bindung, einzig vielleicht etwas zu wenig Seiten (122, nur dieses Format). Meine Empfehlung!

Rien à dire juste parfais un peu de phantom mais cela me dérange pas
