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

Absolutely love this notebook, this is my second notebook and second size I have tried. The quality is top-notch—smooth paper that doesn’t bleed, sturdy binding, and a soft cover that feels premium but flexible enough to carry everywhere. The numbered pages and built-in index make it perfect for journaling or work notes. It lays flat beautifully, and the overall design feels thoughtful and timeless. Worth every penny for anyone who appreciates good stationery.

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.

I buy at least 3 of these notebooks a year and here's why. Ink doesn't bleed through the pages. Pages do not tear from the binding. There's a helpful pocket inside the back cover. There's an index page and all the pages are numbered in the notebook. Cover holds up well and doesn't disintegrate with heavy use. Bookmarker ribbons are helpful and there are several of them. My only complaint is I wish the notebook would lie flat. I write in these sideways (meaning I turn them so the binding is at the top and the page is landscape oriented) so when I can't write on the backs of pages I only use half the pages in the book. Regardless I keep buying these because they are so well-made.

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 absolutely love this notebook. I bought this for my journaling and it’s perfect. I will continue to buy these. The quality is amazing. Purchased dark green, dotted.

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.

Bought this for my junk journal and I'm so glad I did!! I wish rhe pages were a bit thicker but I just glue every other page together to make up for that. Great size, great weight and has been wonderful to journal in.

Exactly what I needed, perfect color. It’s a A5 size and soft cover with the perfect color. Quick to throw in my bag and the pages are nice as well.

tolles Notizbuch- vor allem die Farbe ist wunderschön - wie auf der Abbildung zu sehen

Ich bin mit der Qualität des Notizbuchs sehr zufrieden.

Wunderschöne Farbe, perfekte Linienbreite (etwas schmaler), schönes Papier.

Leuchtturmqualität! Einfach sehr hübsch, es macht Spaß darin zu schreiben. Die Seiten könnten ein wenig dicker sein, weil Filzstift z.B. auf der Rückseite zu sehen ist, aber darauf kann man sich ja einstellen. Bei Finelinern etc. drückt nichts durch!

Excelente producto y un papel de alta calidad que funciona muy bien con estilográficas
