MENORAH - Dot Grid, A5 Notebook - Black Dotted Journal - 192 Pages- 100 GSM- (210 x 135 mm) - 2025 Office Notebook, Planner - Completely Handmade, BUJO, Diary for Girls - BLACK

* The leatherette cover is very premium in look and feel.* The elastic band has the perfect amount of tautness for now. Will need to see how that holds up with time.* Two bookmarks present. Amazing.* The last page compartment is again a nice touch.* The only branding is in the bottom of the back cover and is very tastefully done.* The cover panels are sufficiently hard and don't flex at all.* All the pages and their dots are aligned.* The pages are thick, and don't feather at all(I'm using a uniball roller pen). I want to see how the pages stand the test of time.I'm extremely happy with how well thought and executed this product is. All the little design considerations add up to a very awesome product.

I had been following Menorah at Instagram since a few weeks and only recently i came to know that they too sell journals and i had an instant crush on their products and i purchased this journal along with their sketchbook for my BuJo.Key Features•Dot Grid•A5 Black Dotted Journal•240 Pages•90 GSMIt has an elastic enclosure and a back pocket with two ribbon markers. It also has a leather finish and is very stylish.I did the detailed pen test that you can see the photos that I shared. Because being 90gsm the ghosting is light and almost no bleeding. It's ofc not fountain/ink pen friendly but yes it doesn't bleed though depends on the ink quality too.That's the minus point there but i hope they work on that too.Keeping ink pens aside, the best part is that Brush pens do not bleed, especially camlin ones so a plus point there.Also the whatever little ghosting is there, that is hardly visible when pictures are taken in natural as well as artificial light.Best of all it is absolutely affordable and cost effective and value for money.I can't absolutely wait to use it.Watch me use the journal at my art & bujo account @abujoist/InstagramRecommended for bujo/journal beginners.Ps the packaging deserves a mention which is why I shared an exclusive image of that too.

I got this journal in a dot grid format in B5 size. It is pretty big and the pages are buttery smooth. I like the cover of the journal it has leatherette vibes with their signature elastic on it. You will get a folder at the back cover to keep your documents.It has two silky ribbon bookmarks which are quite convenient. The dot grids are also placed at a specific distance which gives a pretty space to write and doodle. The journal is reasonably priced. However, the ink bleeds on the other side of the page when you are using a gel pen or a marker.Other than that I liked it.

This product has a premium feel. The packing was sturdy and hard, kept the diary safe. The quality is amazing. The outercover is solid and very sturdy, the pages have amazing quality.I didn't think I could get a journal of this quality within this budget, but this one from Menorah, is worth it.Go for it, it won't disappoint.

I’ve been using this for a few months now and the paper is really smooth. Yes there is ghosting and no, it’s not at all fountain pen friendly BUT if you stick to basic pens (I use a Linc Ocean black gel pen and coloured ball pens from Reynold’s) with pencil colours, you can get so much out of this! (You can see more of my spreads on Instagram— @12th.sky)Stay away from sketch pens, they’ll bleed right through. And if you’re using Tombows, as long as you don’t layer it, you should only have ghosting.The dots are well-spaced and just the right amount of black. The build is really sturdy, plus it has two bookmarks, and I use the back pocket to keep ephemera (stickers, stamps, old tickets etc.) that I want to use in the journal at a future point, so that’s really handy. AND it’s an eco-friendly product, which just gets all the points from me.For the amount you pay, this is a really good deal. I am really happy with it. However, I would love it so much if we could get an even better (even if more expensive) version of this with at least 120 gsm, fountain pen friendly paper. Please make this happen, Menorah people! :)

Good

I bought this 4 years ago, at the same price of Rs.399, but got 240 pages. Thought of buying again before I noted that now they are only giving 195 pages. Wow. The overall quality was great, only the elastic band goes limp after some time. My love for dotted pages hasn't died.

Good quality, hard/durable cover, good strap to keep it closed, good quality paper. Has two ribbons as bookmarks, title page, and small pocket at the end for little papers.
