Ruled Notebook

I'm still finding the best way to use it this journal / notebook. It has been made the old school way. Leather bound and lies flat when open. Almost like one larger piece of paper so you can leave it *open* on your desk. And you dont have wires interfering with your hand. I chose the tan book with grey spine because I liked the classic look very stylish. And I got the matching calendar / planner. The covers are quite durable and I like the paper thickness. Now heres the part I really like. The pen /pencil rests in the SPINE of the book instead of on the right side of the book. I usually buy notebooks with a pen-loop on the right side or buy 3rd party loops to attach to the notebook. If you have ever tried note books like that you know the pen catches on every little thing. So you have to always be conscious of how you put it in your bag. With this one the pen ends up being 'cradled' into the spine, it prevents the pen from hooking everything it comes into contact with. That is a genius move. I dont really have to take precautions throwing it into my bag. Summary: high quality book binding, Pen loop location makes it very easy to keep a pen with it all the time and you dont have to carry a pen separately. A DEFINITE 'should buy'. 5 out of 5 stars!

Over the past several years I have amassed a small collection of black notebooks used for journaling. I've found them at various stores and mostly have purchased different ones on Amazon. This notebook is the best one I've found and I'm convinced that it's the best one made. To begin, I like the size of this notebook. It's larger than the comparatively-sized Moleskin notebook -- I always thought the Moleskin notebooks were too narrow at 5' x 8.25". Although the product description says that this notebook is 5.7" x 8.4", it seems to be consistent with the A5 paper size (5.5" x 8.25"). Either way, it's slightly wider than the Moleskin notebooks. I definitely enjoy the A5 paper size above other sizes. This notebook also has really nice, thick pages. The paper is noticeably thicker than the paper in a Rhodia Webnotebook, so the overall thickness of the notebook itself is also slightly greater. Another nice feature in this notebook is the smoothness of the paper. It's not as slick as the paper in the Rhodia Webnotebook, but I actually prefer the smoothness in this notebook over the Rhodia. It works well with fountain pens and with very little, if any, feathering. The Lemome notebook has a far superior cover when compared to the Rhodia. The cover on this notebook has a much more leathery feel --much more texture. Further, it seems that it holds up much better. The cover of the Rhodia almost feels fragile and quickly shows marks. The Lemome notebook cover is the nicest I've seen any any similarly-priced notebook. Lastly, the price point on the Lemome beats the Rhodia Webnotebook, too. At their normal price is around $13 (I've purchased them for $12.99 and $13.99) which is more affordable than the Rhodia which comes in at $17.50. I have also purchased the Lemome for as little as $8.75 when they're on sale. Again, the Lemome beats the Rhodia. If you're looking for a really nice notebook for journaling or drawing then you owe it to yourself to try this one. There is a reason I have so many of these on standby in my desk drawer!

I am usually not one for writing a review for something as simple as a journal but I definitely felt like I should share my thoughts on this one. This is probably the best journal I have ever used. Especially for the price point I definitely recommend this purchase! First off it is very stylish and cute and let's be real - we all want something that we are taking the time to write in everyday to be something that is aesthetically pleasing and makes us want to get it out and write in it. It is super sturdy and I have kept it in my purse and never had an issue with pages getting bent or the outside cover getting bent out of shape. It's flexible and sturdy all at once because it's made out of cork. The pages are thick enough that if you are a Bullet Journal Junkie or have a heavy hand that it will not bleed into the page underneath. I also love that even though the outside binding and cover are very sturdy it lays flat on the table with no problem. I definitely recommend and I will be purchasing again in the future!

One of the best notebooks I've ever had.

Me ha parecido una compra perfecta. El cuaderno viene perfectamente empaquetado en una caja negra. Y cuando lo descubres, en seguida te das cuenta de la buena calidad que tiene. Las hojas son gruesas, y son un montón. Por lo general estos cuadernos suelen llevar muchas menos. Viene con marcapáginas de tela y una goma para cerrar el cuaderno. También, con unas pegatinas y un compartimento dentro del propio cuaderno para que guardes lo que quieras. Así como una goma en el lateral para que puedas dejar ahí el bolígrafo. Las tapas son duras aunque ligeramente acolchadas. Por lo general, me ha parecido de una calidad superior a las famosas "Moleskine", que encima, son muchísimo más caras. En cuando acabe esta libreta volveré a comprar otra igual, sin duda.

Molto brevemente, il prodotto arriva confezionato in una scatola molto minimal ed elegante, bianca, che ricorda un po' lo stile apple...Le dimensioni sono quelle di un A5, per cui più contenute di un normale foglio A4, il che lo rende un prodotto davvero eccellente per la mobilità, pertanto, può tranquillamente essere risposto comodamente in uno zaino o borsa da lavoro senza occupare molto spazio...Bello il contrasto tra la pelle marrone della copertina e il grigio del dorso nonché molto utile l'utilizzo dell'elastico per metterci la penna, mentre per quanto riguarda la qualità della carta, è davvero alta. In sintesi sono pienamente soddisfatto dell'acquisto!

I bought this during my first year in university and definitely do not regret buying it. I first bought this so that it would get me started on journalling, and it actually came into great use when the pandemic hit. The packaging was really cute. It came in a white container that says "I am a gift", which is also wrapped in a thin plastic. I liked the packaging as it created an extra barrier against anything that could damage the notebook on the transit. The paper quality was really nice - the ink from any pens does not seep through the other side of the paper. I did find that some pens, such as fountain pens and gel pens, did take longer to dry on the paper compared to normal printing A4 papers. I even painted on the paper with water colour. Although the paper did lift and such, as it is not a water colour paper, the paper did hold on really well. There were also no transfer on the other side and no rips from having water touch the paper. The notebook has a hardcover on it which makes it really sturdy and a good protector for the paper. The sturdiness does add to the weight of the notebook though, so I would not recommend this for those who are looking for a on-the-go light-weight type of notebook. Despite how thick and sturdy it is, the the spine of the notebook is actually quite flexible and did not break on me. It was actually really well made and made it easy to open the notebook full 180° which is satisfying. The elastic that holds the notebook shut is truly so good. It did not loosen overtime and held the notebook together well. I didn't find the pen holder useful, but I think that is just me. If you want to put a thick pen on the pen holder then it will take longer for the elastic to stretch out to accommodate the pen. The price of this notebook is definitely worth it. I bought it for £10.29 in November of 2019 and now it is £9.99. The quality is something that I have never seen before and something that I cannot see now either. With Christmas coming around in 90 days I would 100% recommend gifting this to people.

Excellent carnet, solide, papier épais, les lignes sont pratiques
