LEUCHTTURM1917 361590 Notebook Medium (A5), Softcover, 123 Numbered Pages, Sage, Ruled

After thinking these books must be amazing because of all the reviews I've seen I was shocked at how small it was "that's what she said". It was thin, and when using fineliners you can kind of see the ink through the pages for £16 I expected a bit more. No difference to WHSmith journals, there arent many pages so not sure if it will last a whole year if you wanted extra bullet journal pages for photos etc we will see. Also every page is numbered so if you wanted to rip it out If you make a mistake it's kind of hard to because it will look strange with numbers missing. Nice pink colour and feel , just wash it was a bit thicker and had some more pages.

So lovely to handle. Beautiful quality all round. The paper is super quality. Feels exquisite.

I have been repurchasing the dotted A5 for several years. I use them for taking notes at work and love them

Firstly, this book is very skinny and has far fewer pages than the hardback version - I don't understand why they can't do a soft cover with the same number of pages? The book also doesn't feel as sturdy and some of the seams in the middle of the book are quite loose. The soft cover is curling upwards at the outside edge. I've got soft cover Moleskines and have never had this issue before. However, that said, the cover is a beautiful soft leather, the colour is absolutely gorgeous, and the paper is the same wonderful quality I've come to expect from Leuchtturm. Love that the strap and the book marks are also in the same soft pink colour.

I must admit I was feeling excited at this arriving but that feeling did not last long when I opened it up and started leafing through it. I really did feel let down and I cannot understand the plethora of 5 stars on here. Are people just voting for the brand? The cover itself was nice and soft and was as flexible as I hoped it would be. The pages are clear, nicely numbered and printed well and the elastic works fine. . . . . but other notebooks does this better, and are cheaper, such as a Rhodia. The paper is thicker, I get more pages, the contrasting elastic is nice and the notebook feels far more luxurious and beats this Leuchtturm hands down on paper quality . . . and it costs significantly less. Very disappointed.

Although this parcel arrived on time and (fortunately) with the Leuchtturm notebook still inside, the package was open - someone had unsealed the thick brown envelope and not resealed it. even odder, it looked like it had never been properly sealed. I hope that this doe not happen again. The notebook itself is excellent - I particularly like the fact that it has numbered pages.

Feel abit scammed ngl. Partly my own fault for not reading the full description but still feel its misleading. This is a THINNER SOFTCOVER version of the classic journalling notebook. Thought it was the same obviously due to the pic and PRICE of £16. Really just wanted to get ahead and prep next years journal but now I'm back to square one with a skinny, floppy notebook I cant use for journaling.
