LEUCHTTURM1917 - Notebook Softcover Medium A5-123 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Plain, Sage)

I love these books! I use them for all kinds of stuff. Quality is the best and they hold up to rough and tumble lifestyle so far. Can be used for just about anything and the paper quality is great, no bleed through on most types of ink I've used so far. The pages aren't super thick but they have quality feel to them. Size is just right for putting in a shoulder bag. Love all the different colors they have use a different one each year. Binding has never broken and holds up really well!

I did my research, and hands down, this is the best journal for junk journaling. I was a little skeptical at first—never having spent $30 on a notebook—but this one takes the cake. The pages are just the right thickness for gluing, using markers, collaging, and storing precious memories without bleed-through. The softcover makes it flexible, and the binding is solid enough to keep everything intact over time. If you’re a beginner or a pro in the junk journaling world, this is the one to get—you will not regret it! Highly recommend.

This is perhaps the best notebook I have every used. I use this both for journaling and bullet lists and it handles both tasks with ease. The size is just right, it lays flat as advertised, it is extremely durable (I take it everywhere), the paper is perfect, the grid darkness is ideal and it includes numbered pages, date lines and a index. I really cannot say enough good things about it. Coming from Moleskine, this is in a totally different class of journal. I switch up my pens on a regular basis and I have had zero trouble with bleedthrough and only slight showthrough with certain pens. Here is what I have found. Kaweco Sport Fountain Pen, Fine Nib, Royal Blue ink - No bleed, moderate show-through. Staedtler Pigment Liner 0.3 - No bleed, extremely light show-through. Sakura Pigment Liner 0.3 - No bleed, almost no show through. Sakura Pigment Liner 0.5 - No bleed, light show through. Pilot G2 in blue - No bleed, light show through. Sharpie Fine Pen - No bleed, moderate show through. All-in-all, it has handled all the pens I have thrown at it. And whereas Moleskines start to feel loose and the paper gets worn after some usage, the Leuchtturm still looks pretty dog-gone close to new. I love it so much I had a leather cover made so that I will have a case for all my Leuchtturm notebooks that will follow (see pic). If you journal, bullet note, write or do technical drawings on the go, you really can't beat it.

I adore this notebook. This is probably all I will buy going forward for my primary journal. Slightly pricy so I buy multipacks of cheaper brands and then use this one as my main one to move notes into etc. for permanent keeping. Solid build, pages are such high quality and a adream to write on. The little page marker ribbons have held up great, though we will see in future years, months and months so far they are great. Just a super high quality item and it is priced perfectly, if not a dollar or two too high.

Always great to use. The LEUCHTTURM1917 softcover is what I reach for every day for my journaling practice. The dotted pages are perfect — clean enough to write freely but structured enough to keep things neat. The Sage color is a nice touch too. If you're looking for a reliable, quality notebook for daily use, this is it. Highly recommend.

This first bit of the review is about where I'm coming from as someone who uses journals. I bought this around September of 2014 after I filled a lined, hardback moleskine while studying abroad. Most of the time I use a journal to record travels, thoughts, and some drawings from time to time, and I stuff it with knickknacks from places I go. In that regard, it worked beautifully. The pocket is quite convenient in the back, and the elastic band still has pull to it. While I did stuff it with more souvenirs during my study abroad, my hardback moleskine lost most of its elastic strength in just 6 months. They both still keep the books closed, so it's not an extremely significant setback. As for the paper, I normally used whatever pen was around, but I sometimes draw with microns. There's no bleed through, but most any pen will be visible on the other side. I kind of enjoy it. I got the chance to be a little bit "sophisticated" or pretentious when I received a simple pilot fountain pen. This pen shows through a little more than a cheap office pen, but about like any nice ball point. I've included pictures to show how it looks with writing and drawings, stuffed with tickets and things, and a scale to my hands. I'm pretty solidly medium in any glove. As for how well the journal fit me, this is the only area where I took a star away. Personally, the crisp pages, well made soft bound back, and page numbers were too neat for me. The table of contents was quite convenient, and I did utilize all the features. It inspired me to practice writing in a foreign language, and keep my thoughts organized. However, I felt as if I should own a MacBook Air, drink coffee in nice corner shops, and practice for my memoirs. I want something that makes me feel as if it's ok to be messy and inspires me to let go. Rather than simply inserting my receipts and ticket stubs, I want to paste them in my book, draw on top of them, paint on top of that, and write around my artwork. This book didn't feel as if it gave me that creative freedom, so my next journal will be a completely different style. All that being said, I did feel a huge sentimental attachment to the book once I filled it up. If you're looking for a neat and organized way to record your thoughts in a quality journal, this is an EXCELLENT option.

I just started using this Leuchttrum 1917 Large Soft Cover Squared Notebook. This is my new favorite notebook and I love it. The cover is a very nice quality - and its approximate 5x8 size fits nicely in my purse, which is a good thing since I'm going to carry it everywhere. It has an elastic strap to keep it closed and a ribbon bookmark. The notebook lies perfectly flat when open, which makes writing a pleasure. There is an index page, the pages are numbered and gridded (very lightly ) and there is a pocket inside the back cover. The reason I bought this particular brand was that I had read reviews about the quality of the paper - they were all correct. Smooth, excellent quality pale cream paper and most importantly, pens do not bleed through. I have used different pens with no problem at all. I bought this to use as a bullet journal and I know I will be buying more. I have recommended this to my friends.

Great little journal. I use it for a bullet journal (surprise!) and it holds up super well. It's got an index and numbered pages, which is super convenient--especially because I tend to misnumber the pages on other journals when I try to do that. I'm picky with my notebooks--I prefer grid paper and a soft cover, and (though this journal is not the type of softcover I was expecting, but is reinforced with cardboard, which I actually have grown to like) I'm glad I was able to find that in a Leuchtturm. The pages are a pleasant slight cream color, very similar or maybe slightly lighter than those of a Moleskine. There's a border around the grid so you can be sure the squares are lined up, which is awesome. The journal also comes with a sturdy little inner pocket in the back, two ribbon page markers, and a band to hold it closed. Overall, a very well-made, sturdy little notebook. If you're torn between this and a Moleskine, just do what your heart desires. There aren't any HUGE, GLARING differences here, though the table of contents and pagination are very nice. I'd absolutely purchase one of these again. [Pictured: my A5 size Leuchtturm next to my extra large Moleskine softcover for color/grid comparison, etc.]
