Mopao 100 Sheets/ 200 Pages Classic Hardcover Business A5 Meeting Planner Diary Journal Notebooks and Journals with Pen Loop, Pocket, Calendar (8.3x5.1 in)

This is an outstanding notebook. I have bought many different styles of planners over the years, but this one has been my favorite. The cover has held up very well. Other products seem to wear on the corners/edges over time. For some, the cover even starts to fold/crease. The pages are really thick and ink doesn't bleed through. I also really like the fact that the notebook opens flat - first page, middle, or last page - it doesn't matter. The pages don't fold or flip on their own.Other things I like about this planner - the calendar in the front is very useful for quick reference. The page with personal info/notes is also nice (although I don't think I would put a credit card number in there). I also like that each page has day of week, date, weather and a memo number. I found the weather status was a little strange at first, but I started marking it and have actually used it a couple of times to remember which day we had heavy snow or other bad weather.The book mark has held up very well. With past planners the book mark became very tattered and sometimes even split. The small pocket inside the back cover is very convenient. I often use it to store a small reference card or other notes I need to carry. I sometimes slip business cards in the pocket during meetings so I don't lose them. Lastly, the elastic band that holds the book closed has held up well and still holds the cover closed tight.I highly recommend getting one of these planners. I just ordered another.

Seems to be of good quality, elastic band to keep it closed is sturdy enough for the purpose.The paper is very heavy weight and easily can take double sided writing, it impressed me.There is folded paper "pocket" on the back inside cover that is nice to temporarily store business cards and the like in meetings, it actually impressed the client when I finished taking notes, quickly flipped the back page open to stash his card, and quickly snap it closed and elastic banded it. I informed him where he could find it.There are plenty of pages in it and the calendar runs right through 2020, the pages are NOT dated.Only complaint I have is while the pen loop is really thick, sturdy, and elastic, it is not able to accept the awesomeness of a pen that is the Pentel EnerGel Deluxe RTX that I buy by the dozen on Amazon, the best pen ever made, and the pen you would be buying as well if you are writing as much as I am.The pages of this journal are a perfect match to that pen, no bleed so you can use both sides of the pages if needed.Source - I use and reviewed both, the journal and the pen. Verified.

Nice and sturdy little book. At first glance I really like the weight and the feel of this book The textured cover feels great when you're holding it, and the magnet closure is a nice touch to keep the book closed. It also has a nice elasticized pen holder. The pages have a good weight to them as well. The size of the book is perfect, as it will fit right into my purse with no issues of getting it in and out. The first thing I did when I took it out of the package was open it up really wide to make sure that the pages stayed attached. And they did. It's a huge irritation when you keep a journal, and you open the book in the pages fall out. I will definitely purchase again.

Love this notebook! I purchased it to take to a conference, because I wanted something compact that would be easy to slip in my purse or small computer bag. It looks very expensive and has a nice feel to it. I like the clasp to hold it closed. I was able to use a gel pen in it without any bleed through the pages. I received several questions at the conference as to where I had purchased it. People didn't believe it was so inexpensive!

This is an excellent notebook at a low cost price. There’s a reason for that.There are a number of calendars at the start of the notebook. None of them are past 2019. So, if you don’t mind having old calendars in your notebook, then I highly recommend. The seller never advertised a calendar as part of their product. So, I was both pleasantly surprised...and then greatly disappointed.That said, the pages are thick. It holds up well in the junkyard called my bag. And the pages don’t smear. I use it everyday, just not the calendars.

The paper is quality and the binding is fantastic. One star loss for the fabric that holds the pen on the outer binding, that material wore out in weeks. Would be better to either not have it, or get better material. Other than that, I love the book!

I love this notebook! It is extremely detailed and has spaces for the date, personal information, etc. Very easy to keep accurate records. I use this for work, but it would be equally great as a personal journal or diary. Will definitely be buying another when I fill up my first one.

Very sturdy and soft binding, Comes with a 3 year calendar and bookmark to leave off where you’re writing notes or a new page. Locking claps to keep the notebook shut, has elastic on the outside to hold a pen.
