I'm an avid notebook and fountain pen user.I like to keep good notes at work, and very much enjoy using a variety of fountain pens to do so. The fountain pens mean I have to find good quality paper.Quite some time back, when they first came out, I bought Moleskines. I loved them. I even kept a daily diary of the first year following my son's birth using one. But then, at some point they changed where they were manufactured, and at that time also changed the quality of the paper. I was very much disappointed, as I found the new paper not particularly pen friendly. Ink would bleed through the page.I have since used quite a number of different notebooks. I really quite like Rhodia. And,would place Rhodia at the top, Moleskine at the bottom and this, Leuchtturm in the middle. (don't get me wrong, I do like, and use, Moleskines still)I saw these somewhere a few months back, and after reading a couple of good reviews online, took the plunge. I've now almost finished it -- three months daily use. And, I can report it has been excellent.It's A5 size, so slightly wider than a Moleskine. The cover is hard, with a slightly dull, maybe waxy feel. Good and robust. Good stitched binding. The book opens flat, and the pages lie flat enough. It has a pocket at the back, page marker ribbon and elastic binder. It also comes with some stickers to archive the book after use. 249 total pages, with 8 perforated at the back to tear out if you need toIt includes three pages of blank contents at the front, along with a name and address page. The pages have a date field at the top, and are numbered. The line spacing on the page is just right for me. 6mm.The paper is good, not great but heading that way. It's more than acceptable for this kind of notepad. I've used this one with fine and medium fountain pens, including a semi-flex nib and it handles it well. There has been no bleed through and no feathering. I've only experienced bleed when I used a flip-chart marker ;) You just have to be careful not to turn the page too quickly though as it takes a second or two for ink to dry.All in all, I'm really pleased with this product.

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.

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.

I've been using these for a couple of years after having tried pretty much all the alternatives.My go-to previous daily notebook used to be a Moleskin flexible cover notebook that was larger and thicker than these but again with a flexible cover cover. I liked the durability of the Moleskin cover but the paper always bled through when using a fountain pen.The Lechtturm paper works superbly with a fountain pen with no bleeding through and a very smooth glide and instantly drying. (Moleskin and many others bleed, Rhodia were slow to dry and the finish tended to clog more than one fountain pen.) The cover is very durable so it still looks tidy after 2-3 months of daily use. Plus,I personally find the A5 size is easy to tuck into the corner of a bag and use anywhere in meetings. The soft cover has fewer pages than the hard cover but that makes it slimmer but I still get 2-3 months per book so I find it a good balance. I also like the dotted version as its good for drawing diagrams and isn't obtrusive. All in all, I find these the best out there, especially if you are a fountain pen user.

Now, look. I have been a moleskin man since I first started writing things down and trying to enjoy the process. I enjoyed sitting in meetings with my fountain pen and squared notebook while others pretended to take note on their ipads while 'secretly' emailing each other. Since retiring, I needed to organise more and bumped into the idea of bullet journals. My time is precious now. I have fewer heartbeats left. Not having to number pages or write 'index' at the top of a page means that I have more time to watch 'Le Tour'. I cannot comment on bleeding, as I have only used triplus fineliners and pencil, so far. So I reckon the Leuchturm notebook pretty well does what it says on the tin,and is pretty good at doing it enjoyably and smoothly. Next one up will be the dotted version. I hope the elastic lasts.

Wow, just wow. I purchased this after being unable to find a black, soft back, plain notebook for a travel scrapbook. I was very unsure about purchasing it because of the price but after I recieved it today.. wow. I've never been so excited about a notebook! The quality of the paper is so good I'm terrified of ruining it with my scribbles and pictures! It has a nice little name and address bit at the front incase you loose it, with a 3 page index (perfect for travel!) The company Leuchttrum has taken great care in this product, including a envelope at the back and a few bits and bobs to help your journaling (stickers and a mini welcome book) I feel the quality of this notebook is too good for me and I'm excited to use it!Well worth the price!!

This is now my goto Journal for work. You can easily use these for bullet journaling or general everyday use.A5 journals are perfect for me. Fit easily in a nag or pocket but still plenty of soace for my musings.Pros:Sleek and professional with moleskin-type coverNice and robustEasy to bookmark your current page (with both a tassel-style bookmark and an elasticated binder)Easy to stay organised - Page numbers and index pagesChoice of lined or faint square markingsSlimline an compactCons:While it's nice amd compact, they run out wuickly if used daily. I could probably use a slightly thicker version/one with more pages

this notebook is amazing and i will be buying more when the time comes— it’s left-handed friendly (no smudge as far as i’ve found), the square rule is a good size and the two pagekeeper ribbons make for easy organisation.the paper is quite thin, so i wouldn’t recommend using a very inky pen (thinking ballpoint or non-heavy gel pens are probably best), but ink doesn’t leak through completely. it’s just visible on the other side of the page if you write heavy.the numbered pages and contents page were a nice touch, and there are stickers in the back to label your book with later.

I switched over from Moleskins to these about a year ago and haven't looked back. The dotted grid is much more subtle than the box grid the Moleskin offers so doesn't intrude on your drawings at all. I often scan sketches and use them in presentations and with this the grid isn't visible at all. The paper is great for pigment filler ink, although not as thick as the Moleskin, but I prefer the texture of the Notizbuch.If you are an architect, graphic designer or any related field, I would highly recommend these.

A friend of mine saw my "Army" coloured notebook and was very intrigued, so I bought her one for Xmas, just in blue. That said, my dotted B5 has been a constant companion since mid-2016 and I use it as a very free-form bullet journal, to track projects, progress, schedule things and generally keep track of everything. After trying all kinds of systems, I think a freeform, Leuchtturm1917 based home-brew system works best, and these notebooks are the blank canvas I need to fit in everything.

I purchased the soft covers, both plain and lined.I have been using moleskine notebooks for the past five years and this year I have decided to use Leuchtturm 1917 as alternative, because I have had issues with paper quality of moleskine ... if you want an excellent quality notebook, and you are in love with the experience of writing, then look no further, this note book will be your best option out there. The best product by the best seller.I highly recommend it.

The paper feels nice, I love that it comes with stick labels, that it has an index with numbered pages and a pocket in the back. It is a massive improvement from using recycled muji notebooks for my bullet journal and Will last me much longer. I also enjoy having a built in bookmark for the pages and a binder too as this stops it from flapping open after a few uses. Very happy and would order it again as the use I will get out of it is well worth the money spent.

I've tried pretty much every bit of paper I could get my hands on to work with a fountain pen with a medium nib, and this notebook is by far the best.My pen comes up slightly wet, but there's no bleed through, it dries fast and the notepad is the perfect size to carry around all day.Love the index to fill out at the front, and that it comes with stickers etc. for archiving. I use 5 to 6 of these a year as I do a lot of writing and they are awesome.

4.5.2017

This is the first time I have encountered the Leuchtturm notebooks, and so far I am impressed. It feels good quality, and is a convenient size. The paper takes fountain pen nicely, and I like the insert, lined on one side, squared on the other, which you can place behind the plain pages to keep your writing level. Let's see how it lasts, but I think I may be becoming a Leuchtturm convert.

2.3.2021

Using as a bullet journal/ to do list. Needed quality paper otherwise I NEVER write frequently. I wish i could just use a regular notepad but alas the feel of quality paper draws me. I use Leuchtturm 1917 as Moleskine quality has gone down hill and I love the 2 bookmark strings. I always use dot grid as it's good for writing/lists/drawing/graphs - everything!
