Review: A pretty journal: good quality, with numbered pages! - I've been using this journal over a year now, and really love it. It still looks awesome on the outside... and on the inside, well, there you'd find my private thoughts and artwork. I use this notebook exclusively with fountain pen inks... a variety of inks. Usually there's no bleed through. Occasionally there is. As an artist, my challenge is to make the bleed through situations into something beautiful. I find that to be a lot of fun... so am staying positive and not complaining. This is a great notebook for writing in. There's an index of several pages at the beginning, and the pages are numbered, so it is perfect for use as a bullet journal or writer's journal, or whatever you like. The pages seem kind of thin, but still good quality. I have other bullet journals with thicker pages. But it is what it is and either you like it for what it is or you don't. I would not hesitate to buy another journal like this one, when this is full. However - if I was to do it again, I wouldn't limit myself just to fountain pen ink in this journal. Probably there are other pens that would be better for this one, like the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens which are bright and beautiful and will not bleed through. (I just tried them on my pen check page at the back of the notebook, and they are perfect for this thickness and quality of paper. The cover of my Leuchtturm 1917 is hardcover, and the color is pink... what they call berry. It is so pretty. I'm glad I bought this one. It comes with the elastic, as pictured, and there's a nice sturdy pocket on the inside back cover. I've found it very handy for smaller items I pick up during my travels. The endpapers are white... a sort of creamy white. Everything about this notebook journal speaks quality. I've used this as a travel journal, for recording quotes, and as a memoir journal, using a prompt book. I'm not using it for my daily observations of life, though it could be that type of journal if need be. I do a lot of ink painting in this journal. I use the same inks I put into my fountain pens - Noodlers Inks in a variety of colors, and De Atramentis® Document Ink . I've also used the Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens in this journal. It does well with all, but as you can imagine, if I put on the ink too thickly there's that risk of bleed through... so I've learned how much to use, and how much I can get away with layering it before the ink goes through the paper. It is a learning process. Recently I used a pen with a medium nib, and that bled through. Not good... and usually I use the extra-fine nibs which are better for preventing bleed through. Not a problem though - I turned the page and used the bleed-through page to create a bit of art using fountain pen ink applied by water brushes. I like the way it turned out even with the bleed through - it became part of the art. So, if you're looking for a good quality notebook with thin paper... numbered, with an index and pocket, this could be the right journal for you. I recommend it. I like all the colors, especially the berry pink which is so, so pretty. No complaints from me.
Review: Great product! Though it has problems. - This is by far the BEST notebook i've ever used in my life. It's made me a loyal Leuchttrum buyer from the second i got it till now. I've had this notebook for a little over a year and batter it to all hell. It looks fine is holding up perfectly. I love that the paper isn't stark white and the dots are perfect for bullet journaling and just writing. The binding is very sturdy, i haven't had any pages fall out and I love that the pages are pre-numbered. The pocket in the back is sturdy and the best in any notebook on the market. Though this is by far the best notebook i've used, it does have its problems. If you are using pigma microns, it doesn't bleed at all, just ghosts. BUT if you're using any Permanent and not archival pens it will bleed like a mother-----. It sucks but i prefer pigmas so it's not that big of a deal to me. I mentioned the ghosting earlier and yeah, thats a thing. Since the pages are very thin you can see whats on the other pages through the sheets of paper and its not THAT bad but if thats a deal breaker to you I'd take it into account. TL;DR Great notebook, sturdy, classy, pulling a Mary Poppins by being practically perfect in every way. BUT there is a lot of bleeding with certain pens and enough ghosting to fill a haunted house.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many dots per page? one answer said 32 down and another was 39.  Neither addressed how many columns of dots.  Really hoping for 35+ x 25+.**
A: I bought an olive colored one two years ago and it had 38 dots from top to bottom on the page (making 37 rows). I bought a red one last year and it had 39 dots (38 rows). I bought an olive one again this year and it had 38 dots again. The index pages are also inconsistent.

**Q: Are the dots shown in the photo accurate? They seem very large, dark and with large spacing in the photo.**
A: It is an illustration, not a photo, and it is very inaccurate! I think it would be hard to show in an actual photo, especially in the small Amazon product picture size. The dots are very small, of a mid gray color. They are sufficiently visible to guide you if you want it, but not so pronounced that they inhibit use for a freehand sketch. Definitely designed by someone with a keen visual sense. I use mine for business notes and related sketches. I highly recommend this notebook!

**Q: Is 249 pages 498 writing pages?**
A: No, it is 125 pages, 249 writing pages.

**Q: How many lines are on each page?**
A: There are 32 lines. 31 of those lines writable, you can write on the 32nd line but it is at the bottom of the page. Lines are spaced about 1/4in or 6mm. Hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Shines for every day use
*by T***N on August 15, 2019*

If you are anything like me, you like to keep lists and extensive notes. I can't get through my workday without putting pen to paper for several pages. Because I do so much writing, I also happen to love fountain pens, because they are both fun to write with and go super easy on your hands. All of these elements add up to me needing a solid notebook with high-quality paper that can handle the fountain pen ink and note bleed. Enter the Leuchturmm 1917 notebook. This has been my notebook of choice for about 3 years, and I have fille several of them up, always choosing to get another. Higher quality paper than moleskin, better build than other brands like Field Notes or Rhodia. It really is the ideal, classic black notebook. It has a small folder on the back cover for keeping things in, and two string bookmarks to mark multiple places. This comes in handy if you are jumping back and forth between current and past notes to compare thing. I love it. It also comes with high-quality stickers for labeling and archiving your notebook once it's filled. I find this useful, as I keep all of my old notebooks labeled and organized in case I need to return to them for reference. All in all, this is a very well made product, especially for fountain pen users, and well worth the price they charge for it.
