WORLD TRAVELER Eccolo Gold Bees Writing Journal, 256 Lined Page Notebook, Faux Leather Soft Cover, 5x7

A great journal for all your needs, it came and smelt sooo good which was a plus but otherwise I love the quality, the cover is nice and the paper within is decent quality as well

I wanted something nice and small to use for quick notes and thoughts. This is perfect! It's not so small that I can't write more than 3 sentences but its small enough to throw in my bag and I can easily find it. The cover is super soft and the design is perfect. I actually didn't even want to write in it! It comes with a page marker that's long enough that it doesn't get lost inside the page so I can easily find what page I was on. Will definitely repurchase!

So pretty

Very attractive booklet works perfectly as a journal - or a place for business notes - or everyday lists.

Great feel to a pocket journal. Love it

Archive quality journal

I couldn't find specifications on this journal initially, so I ordered it and came up with the below information:COVER - The cover is made of red leather with a very simple embossed heart on the front. The actual color is fairly close to the color in Amazon's picture. If the cover appears a little brown on the product picture, the actual color does not look brown at all, but more of a garnet. The cover does not seem to scratch easily or hold marks on it. It should hold up to some abuse.PAGE LENGTH - 128 pages or 256 leaves if you write on the front and back + 1 blank prelim page at the front, and 1 blank trailing page at the back.18 lines per page (not counting writing on the top line)MATERIAL - The paper is ivory and goes well with the red cover. It is acid-free (meaning it will not deteriorate or turn yellow easily) and made of heavy stock. The paper is not very thick and in my hands it feels about the same weight as standard American 20lb weight copy paper. The lines on the paper are a somewhat light color. They are the perfect shade in my opinion and don't stand out too much, but are dark enough for ease of use. There is some light bleeding through to the pages in areas where I pressed the pen down too hard, or when I've used a heavy fountain pen. It is enough that you can easily read what is written on the back of the page. Unless you have a light hand or are using a light ink, I would probably recommend against using both sides of the page. You could certainly do it without a mess, but it just depends on how clean of a look you want on each page. I cut a piece of a manila envelope to the same size as the journal pages, and put it underneath the piece of paper I'm writing on each time so that it doesn't bleed through to the next page.SIZE - 4.75" x 6 5/8" (not quite 5x7 as the description says)Actual writing space (length of the lines inside the margins) = 4.25" x 5.25"THIS IS EXACTLY HOW MUCH SPACE U HAVE PER LINE| (if you were to write in 12 point Times New Roman font). So expect not to get any more than 162 words per page unless you handwriting is very small. The margins are the perfect width to ensure you get enough use out of each sheet and no room is wasted.BINDING/CONSTRUCTION - the binding is sewn in, and separated into 8 sections. This way you don't have to worry about too many pages being held by one thread, and the threads can actually break and only 1/8 of the journal will separate. This method of binding is also very useful because it means you can easily open to any page in the journal and it will naturally separate along one of those sections, so you don't have to break the binding too much to lay the journal flat like you would have to with a paperback book. The binding and threads are also secured on the back with a strip of adhesive. The binding is very well made and the threads seem tight, but strong. I do not have any qualms about the binding breaking and would think this journal should hold up to daily use for awhile and several decades of storage. After heavy use, I do not see any noticeable creases on the spine of the journal where you can tell it has been opened many times. It still appears new. There is no bookmark built into the journal.I find this to be a very nicely-made and simplistic journal and think it would satisfy the requirements for anyone who wants something small and nice-looking. It is not something I would write my Presidential memoirs in, but satisfies my requirements for regular daily use.

This journal was so pretty and i bought it as a Christmas gift and she loved it.

I’m very happy with this journal. Nice cover material. A little smaller than expected, but will be good to carry with me.

Muy bonita, material de calidad, me hubiese gustado más que las hojas fueran un poco más gruesas

Great brand, pretty graphics

This little book is beautiful to hold and behold - too lovely for my quotidien scribblings and lists. I hesitated for some time before plunging in. I wanted to preserve its pristine perfection...I am disappointed. Ink bleeds through the page - and not in a subtle way. I cannot write on the backs of pages; such a waste of paper. And as I near the midpoint of the book, the pages seem inclined to tear away; the book is not very well bound.This lovely notebook looks and feels like the twenty dollar volume it is, but behaves like a much less expensive one. And the fact that i can only use half of its pages devalues the book all the more.
