Leuchtturm 145mm x 210mm A5 Medium Soft Cover Dots Notebook - Black

It lives up to its reputation for excellent paper quality. Ink bleed-through and feathering are non-issues, making it ideal for various pens and writing styles. Although it lacks the robustness of a hardcover, the flexibility of the softcover has surprisingly contributed to its durability, handling daily use with ease. The notebook’s size and lighter weight compared to a hardcover make it perfectly portable without sacrificing writing space. The bright orange colour I chose adds a fun and vibrant touch to my daily note-taking. While I regret not choosing a version with more pages, the features like numbered pages and the ability to tear out pages add considerable practicality. I consistently choose Leuchtturm1917 because they deliver reliable, long-lasting notebooks. This particular model is no exception, I predict confidently seeing me through a year of regular use. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking for a dependable, everyday notebook with a bit of personality.

Very good quality and feels very pleasurable to write on. Product came as described and I will definetely consider ordering from this company again. I appreciate the stickers it comes with for labelling the spine and front of the book. Very nice thoughtful touch!

Really lovely vibrant colour - great sturdy journal definitely worth the price!

Those Leuchtturm notebooks are great and come in a whole range of beautiful colours, formats, line patterns ; the cover texture feels nice, the paper is of good quality with a nice slightly yellowish/cream "oldschool" colour, the pages can be opened flat with relative ease. The notebooks also come with additional features such as an index page you can fill, numbered pages with small margin on one side, a place to write the date on every page, stickers for labelling the book and a pocket on the last page to store any kind of additional documents. You can buy a small elastic loop to stick on the notebook to hold a pen. All those additional features are relatively discrete however if you like your pages to be clear of anything except your writing this might not suit you. Other than that, it's always a pleasure to store and get those notebooks from the shelf/your bag and write something in them, they might cost more than the average (to be confirmed) but I do not regret my money at all. Regarding the durability, they seem to resist well to be carrier in my bag however I would need more time to really say.

Not as many pages as the hardback notebook, and the cover card is the same size as the paper and doesn't overlap which doesn't protect the paper edges much. However, the notebook itself is excellent, the paper is smooth with a tiny bit of tooth with fine nibs. The flexibility of the softcover is very good, and holds its shape well. I woulod have given this 5 stars except for the fact that the pages-to-price point is not as good as the hardback for the difference in price.

I adore the colour 💛🧡 & the look & feel of this notebook. The synthetic cover is soft and pliable in the hand also very light in comparison to hard cover one. Be aware it comes with less pages which I personally don’t mind. I believe the hardcover books have 251 pages while the softcover book has 123 pages. If you are keen on using your fountain pens, you’ll want to make sure you use a notebook like Leuchtturm1917 as it contains fountain pen friendly 80g ivory paper, so it's a tad bit thin but very enjoyable to write on. This is a fantastic paper that gives a sense of feedback which I love. *I just placed another order with this Co - as they are the only ones on Amazon selling Leuchtturm1917 (363782) Diary 2022 Weekly Planner & Notebook English version Pocket A6 in Rising Sun. *Thank you Cad-eau for responding to my questions really quickly.

I may finally have found my perfect notebook - so many others have had 'just one thing' that wasn't 100% aligned with my *personal* taste, but not the Leuchtturm. You, of course, will have to make up your own mind. What's good about it? - Size. I like A5 as you can get decent pages full of notes, whilst havign something quite portable. The notebook has almost exactly the same dimensions as my iPad Mini (when attached at the hinge to it's Logitech slim keyboard) and these are both things I'll pop into a smart 'manbag' when not wanting to haul my laptop around. - Paper. Basically great - some slight show-through (but not bleed through) with black Lamy fountain-pen ink. Comfortable and smooth to write on. - Squares. I love squared paper. Don't worry if you don't - it's also available in lined (not sure about plain). - Organisation. There's a space for the date at the top of every page, page numbering (a really useful idea that so few stationers seen to have cottoned onto) and a blank contents section at the front for exploiting those page numbers to keep track of important sets of notes). There is the ubiquitous (but useful) pocket flap inside the back cover and some stickers for labelling and/or archiving your notebooks. I tend to leave mine unadorned in all it's matte black loveliness, but I still think these are a good addition. - Build. It is simply a very smart plain notebook. The cover is flush to the page-edges and flexible (so nothing to rest against if that's a deal-breaker for you) but the book feels great to hold. When you do find somewhere to put it down and write, you'll find that it is excellently stitched and opens wide and flat to allow access to the writing surfaces. Hope you enjoy this notebook as much as I do.

Good quality notebook, feels nice to use, however when ordering the ‘squared’ pages I instead received the ‘dotted’ pages. It’s a it expensive but goes nicely with the other leuchtturm notebooks I have.

Good notebooks! My last one has been a bullet journal for a full half year, and has even survived water damage (with some repair on my part). I’ll buy these notebooks over moleskines any day!

E' un bel taccuino della dimensione che adoro. La copertina è morbida e piacevole al tatto. La carta è un colora avorio estremamente gradevole ma ha anche un grande difetto: l'effetto ghosting è rilevante e spiacevole visto comunque il costo non economico del prodotto. Peccato perché altrimenti sarebbe un taccuino perfetto.

Superior paper quality, Leuchtturm is definitely my go-to notebook :)

I’ve bought a number of leuchtturm as the pocket softcover is my usual go to easy travel notebook. The paper handles fountain pen ink in (EF,F,M,B) nibs well without bleed but with some ghosting from the low gsm of the paper. My main problem is the Inconsistent quality. I’ve found that on the dot grid versions I’ve run into misprint & cutting issues a fair number of times, and while the grid versions appear to be a bit better in QC in this respect in general it’s best to be wary when buying

Very nice notebook, great quality of paper
