Red Co"Impressions" Collection Ocean Wave Blue Hardcover Notebook Journal, 240 Pages, 5"x7"- Dotted/Points

I'm new to bullet journaling. I did a lot of research on my search for a first bullet journal. Everybody was recommending a Leuchtturm 1917 or Rhodia. I'm very particular about aesthetics. The Leuchtturm seemed too big and overrated. The Rhodia was nice and a cheaper alternative, but it said "Rhodia" in huge letters on the front and it was tacky, and I hate feeling like I'm being used to advertise. I know I wanted a dotted notebook, I just couldn't find one I wanted....I came across this one while browsing Amazon. I'm baffled on why I haven't seen it recommended in any of the online forums or videos. It has everything! It's the perfect size. It has the table of contents, page numbers, fabric page markers, closing band, built in pocket in the back, and optional spine label stickers. The cover is a beautiful color and durable, with a subtle embossed hedgehog looking logo on the back, not in your face. The pages are thick and the pens don't bleed through them and the dots are light and not distracting. I will never even try a different brand because I like this one so much. You will not be disappointed if you buy this notebook. I'll even pinky promise.

After a year spent with this journal, I feel I can reliably review it now (I can't stand reviews that say, "It's been fabulous in the 2 days I've owned it!"). I bought this book to be my first bullet journal, and it's been a faithful old companion, but I can't in good conscience spend the money on another one, for the following reasons:-The binding fell apart. Within a few weeks, I had to start taping up the spine. At about 6 months, the attached bookmark ribbons popped out, and just last week, the cover came completely away and I had to reattach it with tape.-The paper is fairly thin, and doesn't respond very well to most fountain pens--wicking, bleed-through, etc.I love the bright coloring, the beginning table of contents, the printed page numbers, the fact that it STARTED with ribbons and an elastic strap. It had everything I was looking for; I'm so sad that it just couldn't hold up to the punishment of being my daily bullet journal.

This notebook looks nice, and the paper quality seems good. I bought it because it has everything I was looking for to use for a bullet journal: dotted and numbered pages, page markers, and an index. Plus the color is beautiful. There are two major problems. First, every page has a distinct curl around its whole border, curling to the front. It's uncomfortable and could cause paper cuts. The second major problem is the smell! It's terrible! I can't imagine carrying this thing around and holding it close enough to my face to be constantly writing in it and flipping through it. It's disgusting.Update: After a few days of use, the smell has diminished and is no longer bothersome. However, the page edges are still an issue. I also think the size is a little small, which I don't hold against the manufacturer, but if you're looking for something comparable to Leuchtturm, this notebook is smaller.2nd update: I like this journal more and more as I use it. It lays absolutely flat. The paper is very good quality. And the size is actually very convenient. The initial off gassing odor is completely gone.

This notebook is the perfect size for me, it fits in my purse & in my backpack. The paper is a little thin and I can sort of see the writing on the other side of the page but the quality of the book, the band, the bookmarks and pockets in the back are great. I love the way the book lays flat and the way it feels. The dots are the perfect lightness so I can write with ease but they're not horrible to look at.

It came, wrapped in plastic, in very poor condition. Pages bent. Cover imprinted and dented. The inside of the spine already has a rip. It was shipped with another brand of notebook that came packaged the same way and the other brand looks perfect so I don't think it happened during shipping, or if it did, then this one is a definite fail in durability. The paper itself held up ok to my pen tests but had some bleed through with heavy fountain pen use. I would actually probably like it for the size and paper if it seemed a little sturdier. But if it looks this bad on day 1 there's no telling what it will look like after throwing it in my purse and using it for 236 pages. I'm almost positive it would fall apart before I got to the end of it. It's not super expensive as far as these notebooks go but i think I'd rather pay a little more for something that will definitely hold up.

At first, I loved this journal. However, I've been using it for about 8 months and both bookmark ribbons fell out, the band fell out on one side, and the pocket in the back is beginning to lift. This may just be usual wear and tear with this product since I carry it with me everywhere. I was hoping it would be sturdier. The pages are very thick and great quality and I love how it lays flat! it does bleed through a little bit when using gel pens or sharpies.

Can’t wait to kickstart my journaling again. After trying a different brand of bullet journal I ultimately came back to the same brand I bought from. My old 2018 bujo (Brown/Orange) has help up great, and I’m ready to have a fresh start with this new one.

There are not enough dots to have notes and a 31 day list, if you want to use this for a habit tracker. The quality is not the best either. The spine is a thin piece of fabric, and I can feel the stitching/glue.

Super Notitzbuch, leicht, schön, mit Seitenzahlen und Inhaltsverzeichnis.Nur..warum bekomme ich keine RECHNUNG???
