BEECHMORE BOOKSLined Journal Notebook, 5.8 x 8.3 inch, A5 160 Lined Pages, Hardcover Leather Journals for Women, Men, Writing and Notebooks for Work - 120 GSM Thick Paper, Gifts Box Included (Chestnut Brown)

I highly recommend this journal/notebook! I have ordered and returned various journals because the pages were too thin and/or the quality was not outstanding. The Beechmore journal is superior craftsmanship. Beautiful leather binding, thick GSM pages, and so many awesome colors to choose from. A rare gem of a journal/notebook for anyone looking to enrich their life with daily writing!

I adore this journal! I've had mine for a month or two and the outside still looks like new! I accidentally ordered two and planned on returning one but Im for sure going to keep both now. I ordered this to use as a book journal, my Micron pens work really well on the durable, thick pages and the color of the pages is beautiful. I like my pages not to be bright white but not too yellow and the color of the pages is a perfect warm creamy color, lines are good size but don't look like something a preschooler would write on and are seeable but don't stand out on the page like a sore thumb. The exterior (I ordered the leather looking one) is nice quality and color is good. Mine has no scratches or showable wear and tear but I haven't been very rough with it and it doesn't go outside of my house much but I imagine you could travel with it or something of that sort and it would hold up just fine. The packaging is nice (there is a thin layer of plastic on the outside of the box it comes in but I dont know what they could have substituted for it and thats expected, other then that the packagings fairly frugal when it comes to plastic) if you are giving it as a gift the box is nice, and there logo is neatly printed on front (it just nice touches and small details that show quality). There's a pocket in the back and a elastic band to secure the journal, I didn't need these but something to keep in mind if your using it in a office or something like that. Binding is great and durable doesn't bend the pages along with it. Believe it or not Im actually not a journal fanatic, when I look for a book journal I just want something thats fairly durable with a decent cover and a nice exterior design since my book journals quickly have become keepsakes, but this journal just had me so EXCITED! It is so lovely and the quality is so NICE and thoughtful, even down to the last details. I also love that Im not buying from China which is probably why the quality is so nice on this journal. I like to consider myself a environmentalist and from my thin layer of research and experience the company seems like it didn't jack up our environment making their products. I'm am really impressed by this product and although I'm not a huge review writer or 5 star giver this journal deserves every bit of praise I gave it, I didn't have any expectations when I bought this (I was just happy to find a good journal after HOURS of looking and not being able to go into a bookstore to look at some in person), so don't expect rainbows to be shooting out of the pages after buying it, but just know that this is a good purchase and if your buying it to give to someone else anyone (unless their a journal hater) would be happy to have this. Use your own judgement and have a good day!

Better quality than it even looks. Love the hardcover and thick pages

Nice journal, would buy again.

Best journal out there.

I ordered the journal in green. I was impressed with the packaging. It would make a nice gift based on that. The color is pretty and I like the elastic closure, bookmark ribbon and little pocket on the inside back cover. The only issue I see is the white card stock that was wrapped around it, left some white marks on the edge of the front cover that won’t come off. There are also some other light marks and smudges (you can see on the last picture) that won’t come off either. Maybe other colors won’t leave those marks. Besides those relatively minor imperfections, I am pleased with the actual journal.

The amount of satisfaction I got out of simply opening the packaging of this book was worth every cent. The lid fits PERFECTLY outside the bottom piece of the box. The notebook is wrapped in perfectly aligned tissue paper with a perfectly centered seal. 10/10.The notebook is great too!!

Great paper. Nothing bleeds through! It’s becoming my go to journal
