Notebook Hardcover Medium A5-251 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Black, Ruled)

I'm a huge fan of Leuchtturm notebooks, and I 100% think they're worth it. The color selection is beautiful and unique. The paper is one of my favorite things about them. It's so nice that it makes almost any pen perform well. Even a cheaper pen can feel and look better on this paper. I also love that the pages are off-white without looking yellow, which makes them perfect for journaling or sketching because you're not starting on a bright white page. Many people mention that the paper is thin, but in my opinion, that's part of what gives these notebooks their elegant feel. I also don't mind a little ghosting. You can always skip a page if needed, and with 250 pages, there's plenty of room to work with. I've never experienced any quality control issues with a Leuchtturm notebook. They're often compared to Moleskine, but in my experience, Leuchtturm's quality is more consistent across its product line. I highly recommend these notebooks if you want to invest in high-quality paper and beautiful colors. They also offer notebooks with thicker paper (120gsm and 150gsm sketchbooks), so that may be a good place to start if you're curious about the brand.

I've been using this journal over a year now, and really love it. It still looks awesome on the outside... and on the inside, well, there you'd find my private thoughts and artwork. I use this notebook exclusively with fountain pen inks... a variety of inks. Usually there's no bleed through. Occasionally there is. As an artist, my challenge is to make the bleed through situations into something beautiful. I find that to be a lot of fun... so am staying positive and not complaining. This is a great notebook for writing in. There's an index of several pages at the beginning, and the pages are numbered, so it is perfect for use as a bullet journal or writer's journal, or whatever you like. The pages seem kind of thin, but still good quality. I have other bullet journals with thicker pages. But it is what it is and either you like it for what it is or you don't. I would not hesitate to buy another journal like this one, when this is full. However - if I was to do it again, I wouldn't limit myself just to fountain pen ink in this journal. Probably there are other pens that would be better for this one, like the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens which are bright and beautiful and will not bleed through. (I just tried them on my pen check page at the back of the notebook, and they are perfect for this thickness and quality of paper. The cover of my Leuchtturm 1917 is hardcover, and the color is pink... what they call berry. It is so pretty. I'm glad I bought this one. It comes with the elastic, as pictured, and there's a nice sturdy pocket on the inside back cover. I've found it very handy for smaller items I pick up during my travels. The endpapers are white... a sort of creamy white. Everything about this notebook journal speaks quality. I've used this as a travel journal, for recording quotes, and as a memoir journal, using a prompt book. I'm not using it for my daily observations of life, though it could be that type of journal if need be. I do a lot of ink painting in this journal. I use the same inks I put into my fountain pens - Noodlers Inks in a variety of colors, and De Atramentis® Document Ink . I've also used the Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens in this journal. It does well with all, but as you can imagine, if I put on the ink too thickly there's that risk of bleed through... so I've learned how much to use, and how much I can get away with layering it before the ink goes through the paper. It is a learning process. Recently I used a pen with a medium nib, and that bled through. Not good... and usually I use the extra-fine nibs which are better for preventing bleed through. Not a problem though - I turned the page and used the bleed-through page to create a bit of art using fountain pen ink applied by water brushes. I like the way it turned out even with the bleed through - it became part of the art. So, if you're looking for a good quality notebook with thin paper... numbered, with an index and pocket, this could be the right journal for you. I recommend it. I like all the colors, especially the berry pink which is so, so pretty. No complaints from me.

Leuchtturm journals are my favorite. Imo they are higher quality than moleskin. They offer more than moleskin journals. I love the pocket, labels, and two sewn in bookmarks it includes. The gridded pages are my favorite and the paper quality is excellent. Pages are thick enough that I have never had any bleed through. I’m always able to write on the other side.

This is arguably the best daily notebook that I have ever used. I’ve had Moleskine and specialty notebooks before and used them reguarly for work and journaling - this A5 hardcover notebook tops them all. I love the numbered pages, the storage pocket, and the overall durability and feel of the paper. It looks professional (if you want it to) and will withstand regular daily use with grace. Overall, this is a great buy.

I love these notebooks. I have the navy and the orange and the colors on them look fantastic and not cheap. The notebooks are a little pricey but that is due to their quality. I enjoy the numbered pages and the adhesive labels that come with each one. I am a convert to these from the other major notebook maker. Cannot recommend them highly enough if you enjoy physically taking notes!

The notebook has a table of contents and a paper pocket which are very nice. The paper writes smoothly with all of my fountain pens and regular writing utensils work just fine. I feel the two bookmarks are a bit excessive, but they don't get in my way. My largest gripe about the notebook is that the paper ghosts really easily, leaving each page messy and hard to read. There is no bleedthrough, though.

These are easy to use. The binding doesn't fall apart and the pages don't fall out. Mine stay open on the table most of the time, but they stay closed without showing any signs that they were kept open. Paper is perfect thickness for jotting notes and turning easily. I like the dot design, the page numbers, and index in the front. The cost is well worth the organization assistance I receive from these journals. Yeah, I could get cheaper notebooks, but these are more convenient and useful.

Like a lot of other people on here, I've been using Moleskine notebooks of different sizes for many years. But I saw someone talk about these and I was wanting to try something different. These notebooks are very nice and offer the same quality as the Moleskine alternatives. Beyond that, when you compare prices for comparably size notebooks, the Leuchtturm1917 seems to offer a lot of value for the money considering how many pages you get. I like the color options of these notebooks. I'm a photographer, writer and content maker, and I like to use different color books for each thing I write about whether it's content creation ideas, story/book ideas and details, personal thoughts or whatever. Right now, I've got six of these in all different colors. Hopefully the colors will be around for a while so I can keep up a consistent theme. I like that the pages are numbered and that the paper is acid free, so there's more longevity to the pages if I hang onto the books for a while. There's a bit of bleed through with my favorite Pilot G2 pens, but not much. I was using fine point Sharpie pens, but there's much more bleedthrough with those. I like the Pilot pens much better for writing in these. You get a few perforated pages that you can tear out. Maybe those are for a grocery list or handing off a list to someone else, but I really don't use those pages. Overall, I like these notebooks a lot and plan on stacking up some more to use down the road. They offer great bang for the buck with quality on par with the best.

J’adore cet article que j’achète chaque année pour réaliser mon bullet journal

LEUCHTTURM1917 est une marque que j’ai découverte en octobre dernier. Je désirais m’initier au bullet journal. 6 mois après mon premier journal Leuchtturm, je reste fidèle à la marque. Le papier est solide, des pages permettant de démarrer son BUJO y sont clairement organisées. Les pages sont numérotées et les pointillés visibles et discrets à la fois. Et la couleur est juste sublime, juste ce qu'il faut pour co-créer ma vision d'une relation de couple 6 étoiles. Tout en y calant ma semaine d’actions prioritaires, le tracking mensuel de mes choix et nouveaux rituels, les points clés des lectures de livres que je lisais, les citations qui challengent le mental et la revue de la vision que j’ai pour ma vie, j'ai fait 4 mois avec le premier journal LEUCHTTURM1917. C’est à mes yeux le meilleur investissement pour se transformer et se réinventer avec confiance et en toute introspection. Cette liberté de personnaliser le contenu de son BUJO est unique. Et puis, écrire sur un bel objet vous fait voir la vie du beau côté. Avec optimisme, un jour à la fois. Parce que votre âme le vaut bien.

To help me reach my end of year targets, this meets the requirements

For anyone who loves to scribble things down like I do, this notebook is a dream. The paper and overall build quality feel genuinely premium, and you can tell it’s made to last. More expensive than a standard notebook, but the quality more than justifies the price. If you enjoy writing and appreciate a well-made notebook, it’s absolutely worth it.

袋を開けてすぐ、とても気に入りました。 今までは淡い色味のカバーを購入していましたが、このロイヤルブルーは気持ちを引き締めてしっかり使えそうです。 ただ、紙質が変わったのか薄く感じました。横罫・方眼両面仕様の罫線台紙も１枚付いていて、挟んでみると透けて見え、紙が薄く感じられました（個人的見解です）。裏抜けしないことを願います。 使ってみての感想はまだ分かりませんが、届いたときの嬉しさは★5です。
