LEUCHTTURM1917 342937 Notebook Medium (A5), 249 numbered pages, dotted, orange

I repeatedly buy these journals - partly because i like a catalogue of equally sized journals but also because they are so reliable!Once you open your journal, you’re greeted with useful stickers and information about the journal. The journal will also LAY FLAT on a table (that’s quite important for me).It is key to note that the pages aren’t very thick - if you’re planning to use ink pens and alcohol markers - you’re going to get a lot of shadowing and a bit of bleeding. But a papermate inkjoy doesn’t do any harm!The squares are very nicely spaced - not too small but not too large. and the pages are also a cream colour rather than bright white! The lines are there, but not screaming in your face.

I'm a huge fan of this notebook. Buying something that you want to be a constant and useful companion is tricky on the internet- you want to be able to feel the pages, admire the details and picture it in your life- but after many evenings spent reading reviews and comments, I settled here. I'm glad I did.Here are some of my favourite features.-THE LOOK - Sturdy, smooth and with just that right bit of sheen to show quality. Looks good.-THE INDEX AND PAGE NUMBERS - This is genius. The first three pages of the book are used to write the contents of your notebook, with space to include the page numbers. Such a simple thing, but nothing has made a notebook more indispensable for me than this addition. I use my notebook to record anything that needs recording, but that could be a notes about an article, a meeting, my holiday plans or a to-do list, and they are rarely in a sensible order. If I wrote them so I can access them in the future, then it's really essential that I can find them again quickly. I no longer leave a pile of blank pages to allow me to come back to a project, because I know I will be able to pick up where I left off wherever I am in the book without fear of getting lost.-THE TWO BOOKMARK RIBBONS- One is handy to find my next blank page quickly, the other keeps a hold of whatever I am currently using. Again, it's a simple addition that makes this notebook twice as easy to use.-TITLE PAGES- This really adds to the usefulness of the index, but I like a reminder to set down the date and the expected contents before I start.-THE GRIDLINES - Everyone has their preference, but I like these. It keeps me neat(ish) but they are faint enough that I can ignore them if I choose, and they add a wee help if I am trying to illustrate something. I also use them to make nice checkboxes if it's a list.-THE FLAT OPENING- If you want to use your notebook to actually read back and refer to, it's great to have your hands free and not need a paperweight to hold it open.-THE BACK POCKET- This has become a must for any notebook. I don't actually use it much because I don't want it overstuffed, but I like that I can use it as a temporary dropbox for papers that need some kind of action.-THE PAPER- It feels good, it's easy to look at and it doesn't bleed much. I have to say that some of the inkier pens I use are visible on the following page, but not so much that it renders anything difficult to read.I've also bought a pen loop for the Leuchturm1917, which fit easily but is too narrow to hold my favourite pens. Next time I will probably buy a different one, but it does okay for now.Bottom line- I honestly can't imagine returning to another notebook.

I bought this notebook to start my first bullet journal this year. I purchased the A5 size which fits really well into handbags. There is a ribbon bookmark attached to the pages and there is an elastic band sitting on the right-hand side to keep everything together.There is a large pocket at the back where you can store notes and stickers too which I find helpful when I attend meetings.There are almost 250 pages in this book, so if you like to bullet journal you will have a lot of space for your spreads. If not then you have a load of room for note taking and writing in general. There is also a contents page in the front so if you have any important pages throughout the notebook you can list them there and they are easy to reference rather than to flip through it blindly and start looking for it.The only con of this notebook is that the pages are a little thin. I use black fine liners and ballpoint ink pens in my notebook which automatically increases the chances of seeing the writing on the under page it's written on. The ink doesn't sink through unless you draw over the same line repeatedly but I doubt many people will do that. You can just see the faint outline of it form the next page which may bother some people.I also stick coloured card and pictures into my notebook for decoration and the pages take glue and tape very well as I've also used washi tape.I bought the Berry colour and it looks like a darkish pink. It's a lovely feminine colour and it's not too harsh as I don't like harsh pinks. The notebook appeared to be very durable and of a high quality. You are paying for something that can last and looks beautiful too.I've had some compliments on this journal since buying it. It arrived on time and I think it was fairly priced at £13. I will buy another when this one is full. Would 100% recommend.

These notebooks aren’t the cheapest, but they’re so lovely. The numbered pages and the contents pages at the front are great if you’re the sort to write scattered notes that aren’t, exactly, in a coherent order. The paper is always excellent quality and a pleasure to write on. A5 is exactly the right size to drop in a bag. I just wish more colours were available with shorter shipping times!

Love the colour, the pocket at the end, simple design, it's perfect!

Doesn’t get better than this - paper is great, construction is sturdy and will last the life of use. Love the variety of colors. Excellence in simplicity and high quality materials.

Un cuaderno muy práctico y útil para el trabajo!

O produto cumpre com o prometido pela marca. A qualidade é insuperável se comparado a Moleskines, cadernos da Cicero e quaisquer outros. Entenda: é um produto caro e cuja função será EXATAMENTE a mesma de um caderno moleskine ou cícero. Não vai mudar sua vida. Se não quer gastar dinheiro e sua ideia é só escrever em um caderno de "couro" (nenhum deles, nem esse, usa couro legítimo), compre um Cicero de 70 reais. O Leuchtturm1917 é um produto premium, para um nicho muito específico. Esse é um produto para quem verdadeiramente aprecia a escrita, o despejar dos pensamentos no papel, aquela pessoa que faz diários ou que anota tudo do trabalho. Se vc quer ter o melhor tipo de produto dessa categoria, vá de Leuchtturm. Mas, novamente, é um produto muito caro, então é preciso verdadeiramente se perguntar o porquê que vc precisa gastar mais de 300 reais em um caderno. Aqui você estará pagando pela marca, pela qualidade e pelo acabamento, não é um produto mágico que só por tê-lo você vai se tornar uma pessoa organizada ou um grande escritor. Saiba o que está comprando.

This is my 12th Leuchtturm journal. I haven't found one out there yet that meets my needs better and I've tried MANY. 37 others to be exact. This is still the winner. The true A5 size fits perfectly in all my bags and is comfortable to write on anywhere. I have used these daily for 6 years for Bullet Journaling and long form journaling.Durable all around. Perfect balance of smoothness and tooth to the pages. The lines go fully to each edge of the pages. The dot grid fills the width of the page with margins at the top and bottom. (Never used a blank or square.) I only use a ballpoint pen, so I'm won't share on ink show-through. The cataloguing stickers are a wonderful touch. I use a spine sticker when I'm finished to clearly label the dates for storage.Favorite features: prenumbered pages and premade index. I use the index regularly. (Why are all journals NOT prenumbered?!)My only complaint to the company is the colors. I don't like most of them. They're too primary or saturated. Having said that, my current, "Rising Sun" is so cheerful and I love it!Pacific is GORGEOUS. Navy is classy. Nordic blue is very pretty, but shows all the dirt. Light pink also, cute, but so dirty so fast. The fuchsia/raspberry is a nice color, but a little too saturated for me. Army is prettier and more "fall" in person than the pictures. The metallic bronze is one of my favorites! The denim blue is nice but kinda boring. Bellini is my all time favorite even if it's a tidge bright!
