I bought my first journal over a year ago, replacing each book as it fills. This journal has become my record of events, images and ideas that I later refer to for my "work" as a writer. Ideas I used to jot on open notepads and elsewhere are now cleanly and clearly preserved. I also especially like the shaded area at the bottom of the page which I often use to compose a special insight or poem related to the day's events.
Pros: Comfortable size, Professional Quality, Quality Writing Surface, Well Built / Quality
