LEUCHTTURM1917 - Notebook Hardcover Composition B5-219 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Fox Red, Plain)

I actually ordered the wrong item when I ordered this. I have always used the A5 size dot journals. This one was quite a bit larger. I was very disappointed when it arrived and was not looking forward to using it. I began this new journal in January of this year. I LOVE it. The larger pages allow for so much more information, writing, art, memoirs, stickers, and fun. This is now my very favorite size. As with all Leuchtturm notebooks, the binding is perfect, the cover is straight and sturdy, and the paper is a dream.

My favorite notebook for junk journaling.

Exactly as requested. Quality is excellent. There is no end to the varied uses a notebook of this size offers its user. It won’t fall apart you. Decent printing. A very good value. Have fun with it!

Amazing quality!

I got the sunshiny yellow color and I really love the look of it. It’s sleek and feels nice. I wish there was a an option to get one with more pages. And I also wish the paper was thicker.Journal with pilot, G2 pens, and while they don’t bleed through to the other side, they are very visible from the backside of the paper, and I like to write on both sides of my paper. It’s super cute. I’m not sure if I would buy it again.

The Leuchtturm 1917 in B5 is the perfect size for my studio journal. I like the size and the generous number of pages. I don't feel like a Sasquatch trying to write on a postage stamp, but like the delicate, though aged, flower that I am. The pagination and dedicated index helps me to use the bujo method to create collections and string my collections in the indices so that I can keep track of the location of entries without creating any wasted space. I also like that I can string across volumes over time. The dot matrix is clear enough to see while I'm working without being distracting. The paper is a good weight and takes the inks I use without bleeding for the most part. In combination with a DIY concertina sketchbook to hold limited palette studies I am very happy with this set up. This particular item is the hardcover B5 but I also have the soft cover versions, as well as the A5 version.

Recently, I started writing again and I just wanted to keep a good notebook around to capture ideas and notes about projects I'm working on. I had a moleskine for that, which is nice but it wasn't quite working for me.I needed something a little bigger, and it was hard to keep track of things. If I took notes on one project, and then notes on others, then wanted to go back to the first one I'd have to dig around for it. With the page numbers and table of contents it makes it easy to jump from one project to another.Also this notebook feels better made and sturdier compared to a moleskine. I also like the paper quality. Some reviews said the paper is too thin, and I suppose it is depending on the pens you use (I tend to use Pilot g2's and occasionally a Pilot disposable fountain pen) and how hard you write.So I highly recommend this notebook if you're a writer, or need something fancy around.

Leuchtturm1917 notebook is nice and neatly made. But it uses relatively thin paper. When writing with a Fountain Pen one can see shadows of what is written on another side of the page (ghosting). Somewhat disappointing for an expensive notebook from a reputable manufacturer. Some cheaper notebooks have less ink ghosting/bleeding problem. I expected more from the premium brand.
