LEUCHTTURM1917 - Notebook Softcover Pocket A6-123 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Dotted, Black)

It's the perfect thing for carrying with me

I work in a kitchen and use this everyday to write out my prep, reservations, talking points and general reminders, it’s great for me and I write with Zebra Sarasa pens which do take a second to dry but the paper never smears or gets extra ink on it!

This little notebook is oddly shaped, but if you can get past that you'll like it. My main concern is the shape being 3.5"x6". Its a great notebook dont get me wrong and i like it but that extra half an inch just annoys me. Being softbound it only has 123 pages i think and since its softbound the paper quality is worse than the hardcover. Still a very lovely notebook and worthy to be in my collection of notebooks, but that's just it it feels like a novelty purchase. It's still very usable and very sturdy. I like this notebook because it's fountain pen friendly to some degree, but other mediums, like the zebra mildliners bleed through. Use for your collection,but that's all i would use it for.

Love the quality of this notebook. Paper is thick enough for fountain pen use. The page ribbons help you find your place quickly. Is a little speedy, but you get a lot of features and quality. Convenient pocket size.

Yeah...I received a bit of razzing when I initially purchased the Leuchtturm1917 Pocket Sized Soft Cover Notebook/Journal. I don't carry a smartphone around with me all day to occupy my time. This provides me with a distraction when I'm bored or have something I don't want to forget(getting old stinks!). For me it's just an all-purpose tool for writing down whatever. I learned this was a better brand and for only $10ish I decided to give it a shot!The Good:Quality. You can tell this is built for use and not to look pretty(although I think simple is good for me).Flexible Cover/Size. Perfect for taking with you because not all good ideas happen at home.Elastic Band. Keeps it shut for privacy although personally I wouldn't write/draw anything I didn't mind others seeing.Pages. Rounded corners for pocket comfort and the dots are actually useful(I was a skeptic). I can't vouch for bleed-through due to only using lead(Zebra M-103 mechanical pencil).The Bad:Bookmark. I know some people like it, but for me I think it looks silly on such a small notebook. I can flip through 121 pages in half a second to find my place!Table of Contents. Again, personal preference, but I feel your cheating yourself of space if you limit topics to certain sections. I suppose if it's going to be read by others I can see the point...Pen Loop. Ok, technically not a feature of the notebook itself, but the optional loop is incredibly expensive for what it is. I paid almost as much for the loop as I did the notebook! It is very functional, however, so they should have made it part of the notebook and just made it more expensive.I've only been using it for a couple weeks so I'll update later on. 4 stars for right now as my negatives are really just nit-picks.Jae

keeps me organized and up on all my tasks

Carry one with me constantly often in my pocket.Very useful for writing ideas and memos,With it being carried often in my pocket i can also say it's quite durable and would tear easilyWould recommend for people who enjoy actual note taking and sketching instead of using an app on your phone

The cover is soft but still pretty durable. Not a hardcover but definitely better than most paper covers. The paper itself is pretty thin but is able to handle a fountain pen without any bleeding or feathering. The words ghost a bit through the page, but it isn’t distracting
