The pages are a bit slicker than a moleskine, which means I needed to switch pens so the ink didn't smear.

These have dots, which are the perfect guide for me to lay out pages.

The index and numbered pages make it easy to keep up with where key ideas are so that you can reference them later as you continue to fill out other pages

Good quality notebook and the pages are even numbered.

I love the dotted pages

I prefer the flexibility of the dots to lines and I prefer 249 pages to ones that are half that length

The ghosting is minimal, the pages feel nice, the pocket on the back is a wonderful addition, the prenumbered pages make everyone's life a lot easier, as does the preset index in the beginning

Well-crafted smooth pages

I love the dotted pages for added flexibility

The pages don’t really bleed with any of my pens/markers

The pages are smooth, almost like vellum and hold ink well

Second, it has two bookmarks, so I can use one to mark the current page and one to mark an important reference page.

I purchased this for bullet journaling, but it's really hard to continue when the next page is already ruined by ink and lead on the previous page and can easily be seen.

I have another very cheap notebook similar to this but has a nicer moleskin cover and the pages are very thick and nothing leaks through

The pages are smooth and the dots make it great for a bullet journal

I like the numbered pages and index

The pages are just as transparent

These are definitely a premium priced product, especially with the Essentials notebook out there for $8 cheaper (fewer pages, but still a better deal only with no numbered pages).

The grid-dots make drawing straight, even lines much simpler, and the pages are sturdy enough to not show much bleed-through when using good pens and markers

Wonderful notebook, sturdy cover, beautiful pages

The bad: this almost out weighs all the good, the pages are very thing

It has bleed resistant dotted pages and is the perfect size for carrying around (not too big, and not too small)

Elastic band to keep it closed is also super handy (my book bag is a *mess*, so the elastic keeps the book closed and protects the pages as I randomly shove textbooks and such into my bag).Also love the hardcover, the numbered pages, the fact that it's black, the little accordion folder in the back... basically everything about it

:-)I've read how the pages are great and do not bleed

The back few pages are perforated which I doubt I'll rip out, but the option is there and the perforation is barely noticeable

The trade off is that you're not going to have super thick pages, instead you have a slimmer and lighter product

I love the index and pre-numbered pages

I've tried lots of different pens, and yes the pages are thin so you can see some of the ink through, but it does not bleed through.

I wish the pages were slightly thicker, like regular printer paper but they're thin like receipt paper

Love the numbered pages, the index, and the pocket in the back

Numbered pages are a nice convenience, too.

Happy pages are not dated so I can still use it easily after I'd originally hoped to Looking forward to using/exploring it more.

It may not work for more creative types who want to draw free-from in their journals - for those you might prefer the blank pages

I love the dotted grid, it makes things so much easier and helps me create neat and pretty pages, which is saying something since I have terrible handwriting and can't draw worth crap.

I chose this size over a larger one because it seemed easy to throw in my purse, but I often feel like I cannot use a full page of this size well.

So far I've had no bleeding, the pages are so smooth, and I can write well in it with every and any type of writing utensil

These have dots, which are the perfect guide for me to lay out pages.

The biggest thing for me is that the newer versions now have several perforated and detachable pages towards the end which are great from testing writing instruments/mediums

The quality of the binding, the cover, and the pages are all great

The pages don't lay flat quite as well as a Moleskine's, but that's no big problem for me, personally

The pages are thick enough to use water based markers but not great if you like to use calligraphy pens because the paper isn't quite smooth enough.

details really do make all the difference with this journal, i love the dotted pages and the feel of the journal

Durable, nice thickness to pages, love the numbered pages and multiple page markers as well as the elastic band to keep notebook closed.

Not realizing that the detachable page and the back page with the logo were glue bound together so when I tore the perforated page it tore cleanly albeit with the edge still attached but then at the bottom it was glued even further

The pages are smooth and perfect for pointed pen calligraphy with minimal ghosting.

I also prefer the dotted pages which helps for planning out bullet journal calendars and dailys

but I can see why this is a popular choice - no bleed when used w/ micron pens, love the dotted grid and numbered pages.

A bit too much ghosting for my preference, and I would also prefer whiter pages

It's the perfect size and I love the dotted pages

Perfect for a "bullet journal"!2 things I wish it had were:--Thicker pages so ink wouldn't bleed or show through,--more pages dedicated to the table of contents...currently, there are only 3 pages, and if you erase frequently to change or add pages to various topics, it can mess up the whole page

The pages are so flimsy and thin

I love the color and the sturdy construction, as well as the pre-numbered pages and back pouch

I had no idea there was a product out there that would be as good as, or better, than my trusty Moleskin notebooks.

It's more SECURE this way for sure, and probably better for most people, but I prefer a

The dots do not look as dark and far apart as they do in the photo, which is a relief.

There is significant ghosting (when you can see on the reverse side of the page what you've written) that is so distracting as to make the journal not suitable to my purposes
