Find Best Price at Amazon"----- On How the Pens Write -----. The ballpoint pen is what I normally write with on a day-to-day basis. It was just fine on the journal paper, but I do prefer the look of the ink on the computer paper. It glided nicely over the journal page and I didn't have to press hard to get a good ink flow, but it did leave more splits in the ink than on the computer paper. It was a brand new pen so that may account for some of the breaking, but it wasn't annoying enough for me to stray from wanting to write with this one. Somehow these felt like the bad kind of scratchy on the journal pages, but not so much on the computer paper. There was a lot of minimal bleeding both away from the line and through to the other side, which can be seen in the close-up and the back pictures."
"It has a subtle earthy, leather scent that sets the mood for your journaling or writing time! They are thick and borderline cloth like, and writing in them makes me feel so inspired. They are a more cream color than straight up white like the pictures show, which I personally prefer because it looks so much more vintage and romantic. This journal was so beautiful that when i first opened it, I couldn't bring myself to write on the paper because my hands kept shaking. I admit I was a little hesitant on buying this because of the pages being bound in the book, and because I thought it wasn't very pretty from the pictures, but trust me."

Find Best Price at Amazon"First, I expected a vintage journal, real leather coverings, old style paper to feel just like it was back in the old times. The back of one of the journals (I purchased two of them at the same time) had a number of scrapes (see the photo) but that totally didn't both me. The strap used to wrap around the Journal and close it up, just as soft and pliable as the rest of the journal's outer shells. There were five bundles of paper that were bound into the journal's spine. What I wasn't expecting and thought was just a design cover of the pens, in the product photos, was that it has the genuine leather wrapped around the pen body, as well. The writing is very smooth and I didn't have any times on my first page of journaling where the pen stopped writing, like if you were using a cheap pen and has to move your normal paper to get a better connection to the paper / ink transfer. I don't want to risk this product being out of stock or stopped production in the future and have to go with something completely different as the months / years go on of journaling. I tried to picture one of my journals as best as I could. Thanks to the suppliers that even emailed me before the journals arrived, just to make contact and provide an avenue to reach out, if I had any issues with the journal on arrival."
"I can't speak for more seasoned journal keepers, but as a rookie, this product stands out aesthetically and has more than met my usage requirements."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I would still be a little nervous writing on this with a marker unless the paper is on the bad in case there was any bleed to the wall (which is why i gave it 4/5). the only other complaint I have is that the "pad" doesn't stand up without flexing without an easel."
"(Other pads I've tried - specifically Office Depot sticky flip chart easel pads - just don't have the "sticking power" and fall off the wall during my 4 hour - full day trainings.)."
"Also, while the picture displays a white top, I received yellow - just FYI."
"These were so great."
"The paper works great as I don't use an easel but stick the paper on the wall to use. They don't protect the paper as well as they should and if I am not uber-careful, the paper can get creased or curled as a result."
"I intended to use this easel pad for a game night where we were going to play "old school" Pictionary with some friends but unfortunately we had a shipping snag and it did not arrive in time."
"However, Post-It brand provides thicker paper with no bleed through and the pages stay put until you remove them."

The elastic pen loop is a great add-on and makes storing my .7mm needle tip ballpoint pen a cinch - super convenient. It's a steal at twice the price of a moleskin and yet it's cheaper!"
"I purchased this item knowing that in a few months, I will need to replace my current bullet journal. I am currently using the Essentials Dot Matrix Notebook, A5 size (Bullet Journal). When examining the ribbon, glue is only placed at the tip of it, and glued on the top of the spine of the notebook. In my current journal, the ribbon glued more than 1/4 down the length of the spine of the notebook, which makes it more secure. As far as smudging, drying or bleeding, I haven't yet tested that out, so I will update this review when I start using it daily. It caught my eye because it looks well built, sturdy, and it resembled my laptop case that I purchased for my MacBook Tomtoc Ultra Slim 13 Inch New MacBook Pro Retina 2017 & 2016 | 12.9 Inch iPad Pro 2017 Sleeve Case [Felt & PU Leather] Laptop Protective Bag with Accessory Pocket - Classic. - The pen strap is GENIUS!!"
"The pen loop is genius and lets me keep my pen with me without destroying my journal. The pages (I got dots) are surprisingly high-quality, and none of my pens (microns and some prismacolor pens) bleed through at all, even when I push really really hard or go over something a few times."
"The feel of the pen on this paper is simply incredible for the price of the notebook. So much so that even notes that I would normally use the laptop for I find myself reaching for the LEMONE as the writing experience is simply addictive."
"Since then, my wife has been asking for the Amazon link for my notebook and she has been referring this Lemome notebook to her friends (and not the so-so one she purchased)."

"That is my only issue with these, just that the edges of the black spine lift up (the spine is fine, like the pages aren't falling out or anything, just the edges come up), and then I have to glue them down so they stay professional-looking and all and not like I just threw it in a backpack a million times and it's all beaten up and ripped apart (I mean I do, but these don't show it if you're just the tiniest bit careful not to like, tear the covers off, which is pretty hard to do)."
"Well, that engineering sketch, that graphic rendition, lab result, college note-taking, and many other things just don't transfer to a phone as readily. That said, if you're reading this, you already known that "National Brand" supplied these to the US Government for many years, part number "43-648." While the overall size 11.75 x 9.25 inches remains the same, there is one significant difference: The newer notebooks have pointed corners on the right edge. Last, the notebook is now "Made in Mexico", and no longer by Dennison National Company of Holyoke MA."

"The reason for 4/4.5 stars instead of 5 is that many colors of Frixion brand pens do not show up well or at all. I have the gel pens, the click pens, the markers, the pastel highlighters, and one regular yellow highlighter in this brand (i have a problem lmao) but I am a student and I use my pens all day long. I've included a color key at the bottom and highlighted which colors show up mostly true to color so that you can buy ones that are more likely to look nice once scanned. The pens stay put really well, the black marker fades easily, but overall the colors will show up. Pens: All of the pens showed up once scanned."

It is actually two "dot columns" wider on each side for a total of one extra inch per spread which is sweet for BuJo addicts like me! The pocket easily holds my protractor and another small ruler without making the journal feel bulky."

"First of all, I ordered black one but the navy one.I am used to using the LT1917 for my bullet journals and love them, but I was so disappointed with the quality of the paper. I was worried, but have trust in this journal..... it's a classic, hardbound numbered dotted paper journal that's a staple for whatever you wish to write. I strongly recommend that you try to use a thicker paper bujo instead of LT1917 thin paper and you will not regret it!"
"My one complaint is the paper is pretty thin making the pen visible on the next page."
"If you read my Moleskine review, you know I LOVE Moleskines, but their recent significant design/manufacturing changes prompted me to look elsewhere and after researching alternatives, I settled on the Leuchtturm Notebook.
