Soft Cover Large B5 Dotted Journal - Enjoy Bullet Journaling with a 7x10-inch, Non-Bleed Thick 120gsm Paper, Dot Journal in Orange, Japanese Edge Motif - Faux Leather Lay Flat Dot Notebook - ZenART

Overall I really liked this little bullet journal. The first thing that I noticed when I got it was the beautiful, soft faux leather cover. So cute and so fun to touch and rub! My favorite feature of this journal was the page numbers and index in the front. I wish all journals had these! It makes it so much easier to note and keep track of important things on different pages without having to go hunt for it. I also really appreciated the overall simple design – nothing on the pages but dots and page numbers. Everything else is up to you to design how you like. The elastic strap is also very convenient, and double ribbon markers are a very nice touch. The fold-out pocket inside the back cover can also be a real lifesaver when it comes to receipts and other important little bits of paper. The only thing I would like different about the journal is for the pages to be a bit heavier. 68 lb is a little thin for me, but this is just personal preference. I guess the advantage of thin pages is that you can fit more in the book, which some people would probably prefer, but personally I would take fewer pages that can handle more of my media preferences, like heavy pens, sharpies, and a little watercolor. That being said, I was impressed with the quality of the paper for only being 68 lb. A few of the pens I used on it (specifically my Sakura Micron pens) could be seen thru the backside of the page, and because of this I would hesitate to use both sides of the pages, but none actually bled thru. (It’s true when they say it’s “ink-proof”.) I also did a very light watercolor on one page, with just a tiny bit of paint and a damp brush pen. The page warped a bit, but nothing soaked thru to the other side. I don’t think most 68 lb paper would hold up as well as this does.

The media could not be loaded. The journal is bound in a thin manufactured leather cover that feels nice. The paper is acid-free ivory paper - that is, it's made from linen. It's thicker than normal paper and so doesn't bleed as much as normal journal paper would. The pencil glided rather well across the paper, but it didn't get rid of that feeling of drawing on paper, which I enjoyed really feeling the page through my pencil. I've had little to no issue being able to keep the journal flat as I worked with it. Even when leaving it alone, it would stay laying flat, making it a good journal to reference from. The pages of the journal are numbered and there's an index right at the start, showing you to use the journal more effectively by being able to categorize your pages and create a table of contents to quickly find what you're looking for. The bullets made a nice grid that's unobtrusive to writing. As it is a grid, it works great for planning out map designs, using the bullets like you would any grid. It makes it so that the grid doesn't get in the way of the final creation. I've been using it both for writing out plans for a game and creating the maps needed for the game system to reference. Overall, the journal is great. I haven't noticed anything about it that I would have a complaint about. It will certainly come in handy.

I think I have at least 6 of this brand. Paper weight is great! I love that it's a soft cover and the colors are interesting.

Excellent, larger 7x10” B5 notebook - love the extra page space! It lies flat when open, so you really have a wonderful amount of space to use without any feeling of being confined or cramped. Love the design printed on page edges, love the bold colors, love, love, love!The things I don’t love about it- the elastic to bind it closed - it’s tight enough when new to create impressions in the soft cover, and all elastics eventually lose their elasticity and become useless, so I’d rather not have one permanently built in. If folks like that kind of thing they usually will get some kind of pen holder band, so again- not a feature that adds anything.It also has the zenArts logo cut super-deep into the front cover, and even worse, it looks like a strange “L”, so even stranger to have on the cover. I suppose? it’s supposed to be a “Z”, but it absolutely doesn’t look like a Z no matter how long you look at it. Every single person who’s seen it has asked why there’s an “L” on it, so I really hope they take it off entirely. There’s a smaller logo and zen art name cut into the back cover, so it’s even more annoying to have it so glaring on right in the middle on the front.If you can get past the annoyingly weird logo on the cover, it’s otherwise a great dot-grid notebook, at a great page size. There’s four lined pages in the front for indexing, and a large Moleskine-type envelope inside the back cover, which is made of paper a bit thinner than usual, so perhaps less sturdy over time? The design on the page edges is repeated on the end front & back end papers, and the pages are discreetly numbered in the outside-bottom corners, beginning with the first dot-grid page.There’s so much done right here, that for me, the glaringly awful deep logo on the cover is made so much worse in comparison - without it, I would have easily said I’d found as near a perfect notebook for journaling/bullet journaling as I could imagine. However, it’s literally impossible to overlook it, as it’s cut so deep into the faux suede cover that ever putting a sticker over it would not help.

Great little book so far...I'm a bit of journal junkie, and I really like the size and weight of this book. It is standing up well to my writing and drawing habits....I have even done a few water colours in it's pages (although that is not it's intended use).NOTE: went to purchase again and found the exact same item has DOUBLED in price! I bought 2 for 50$ last year. I will not pay 52$ for 1 book. That is robbery.

Gran calidad de papel y materiales. Aunque el previo es un poco elevado. Vale la pena comprarlo.

Conforme à la description.Couleur magnifiqueTop

Good value for money comparing to other notebooks I’ve brought over the years. It is a flexible back notebook. The colour is very lovely. The dots are not too dark which enables you to do as you like. I love the numbered pages and the two bookmarks. Love the little pocket at the back of the notebook.For 120msg I expected to not see too much though the paper but as you see it shows on the back of the page. I didn’t use anything too crazy but ink pens from muji and highlighters. Doesn’t bleed but can see some shadowing. It isn’t very thick notebook but has good quality paper and 154 pages to write. Overall would probably buy again.

Copertina morbida, piacevole al tocco. Carta di qualità, non troppo sottile. Molto ben rifinito.
