Leuchtturm 145mm x 210mm A5 Medium Soft Cover Dots Notebook - Black

It lives up to its reputation for excellent paper quality. Ink bleed-through and feathering are non-issues, making it ideal for various pens and writing styles. Although it lacks the robustness of a hardcover, the flexibility of the softcover has surprisingly contributed to its durability, handling daily use with ease. The notebook’s size and lighter weight compared to a hardcover make it perfectly portable without sacrificing writing space. The bright orange colour I chose adds a fun and vibrant touch to my daily note-taking. While I regret not choosing a version with more pages, the features like numbered pages and the ability to tear out pages add considerable practicality. I consistently choose Leuchtturm1917 because they deliver reliable, long-lasting notebooks. This particular model is no exception, I predict confidently seeing me through a year of regular use. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a dependable, everyday notebook with a bit of personality.

I may finally have found my perfect notebook - so many others have had 'just one thing' that wasn't 100% aligned with my *personal* taste, but not the Leuchtturm. You, of course, will have to make up your own mind. What's good about it? - Size. I like A5 as you can get decent pages full of notes, whilst havign something quite portable. The notebook has almost exactly the same dimensions as my iPad Mini (when attached at the hinge to it's Logitech slim keyboard) and these are both things I'll pop into a smart 'manbag' when not wanting to haul my laptop around. - Paper. Basically great - some slight show-through (but not bleed through) with black Lamy fountain-pen ink. Comfortable and smooth to write on. - Squares. I love squared paper. Don't worry if you don't - it's also available in lined (not sure about plain). - Organisation. There's a space for the date at the top of every page, page numbering (a really useful idea that so few stationers seen to have cottoned onto) and a blank contents section at the front for exploiting those page numbers to keep track of important sets of notes). There is the ubiquitous (but useful) pocket flap inside the back cover and some stickers for labelling and/or archiving your notebooks. I tend to leave mine unadorned in all it's matte black loveliness, but I still think these are a good addition. - Build. It is simply a very smart plain notebook. The cover is flush to the page-edges and flexible (so nothing to rest against if that's a deal-breaker for you) but the book feels great to hold. When you do find somewhere to put it down and write, you'll find that it is excellently stitched and opens wide and flat to allow access to the writing surfaces. Hope you enjoy this notebook as much as I do.

Those Leuchtturm notebooks are great and come in a whole range of beautiful colours, formats, line patterns ; the cover texture feels nice, the paper is of good quality with a nice slightly yellowish/cream "oldschool" colour, the pages can be opened flat with relative ease. The notebooks also come with additional features such as an index page you can fill, numbered pages with small margin on one side, a place to write the date on every page, stickers for labelling the book and a pocket on the last page to store any kind of additional documents. You can buy a small elastic loop to stick on the notebook to hold a pen. All those additional features are relatively discrete however if you like your pages to be clear of anything except your writing this might not suit you. Other than that, it's always a pleasure to store and get those notebooks from the shelf/your bag and write something in them, they might cost more than the average (to be confirmed) but I do not regret my money at all. Regarding the durability, they seem to resist well to be carrier in my bag however I would need more time to really say.

Very good quality and feels very pleasurable to write on. Product came as described and I will definetely consider ordering from this company again. I appreciate the stickers it comes with for labelling the spine and front of the book. Very nice thoughtful touch!

I've been using these for a couple of years after having tried pretty much all the alternatives. My go-to previous daily notebook used to be a Moleskin flexible cover notebook that was larger and thicker than these but again with a flexible cover cover. I liked the durability of the Moleskin cover but the paper always bled through when using a fountain pen. The Lechtturm paper works superbly with a fountain pen with no bleeding through and a very smooth glide and instantly drying. (Moleskin and many others bleed, Rhodia were slow to dry and the finish tended to clog more than one fountain pen.) The cover is very durable so it still looks tidy after 2-3 months of daily use. Plus, I personally find the A5 size is easy to tuck into the corner of a bag and use anywhere in meetings. The soft cover has fewer pages than the hard cover but that makes it slimmer but I still get 2-3 months per book so I find it a good balance. I also like the dotted version as its good for drawing diagrams and isn't obtrusive. All in all, I find these the best out there, especially if you are a fountain pen user.

This is now my goto Journal for work. You can easily use these for bullet journaling or general everyday use. A5 journals are perfect for me. Fit easily in a nag or pocket but still plenty of soace for my musings. Pros: Sleek and professional with moleskin-type cover Nice and robust Easy to bookmark your current page (with both a tassel-style bookmark and an elasticated binder) Easy to stay organised - Page numbers and index pages Choice of lined or faint square markings Slimline an compact Cons: While it's nice amd compact, they run out wuickly if used daily. I could probably use a slightly thicker version/one with more pages

Really lovely vibrant colour - great sturdy journal definitely worth the price!

Top quality

Füllertauglich ist das Papier, in meinen Augen, da verschiedene Füller mit M Federn sehr angenehm über das 80g/m2 Papier gleiten. Aber, die Tinte scheint definitiv durch, allerdings ohne durchzubluten. Darauf kam es mir an und das passt. Ich finde das sogar irgendwie charaktervoll, wenn man etwas von der Tinte auf der anderen Seite sieht. Diese trocknet auch recht schnell auf dem Papier. Hergestellt ist es in China, wie auch die Bücher eines bekannten Mitbewerbers. Ich ordne die gesamte Verarbeitung als sehr gut ein. Da müffelt nix und fasst sich gut an. Das man es geöffnet sehr flach liegen lassen kann rundet das Buch, genau wie die Ecken, ab. Bin sehr zufrieden. Fast vergessen, eine nette Beigabe ist auch das Linienblatt.

Very nice notebook, great quality of paper
