Starter journal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite feature of this book is the stretchy tab to be able to add papers to in the front also the stretchy tape to put my pen on the bind of the book I think the book is good because it has a folder in the front to get extra papers and I can write my name in the front of the book I like that there is a date at the top of each page also it also seems very sturdy and there is a label on the back.It means by quality expectations because it seems like a very sturdy book that will not bend easily even in a backpack.I would hope that the book comes in other colors besides black.I would recommend this to many people in business and also to students in high school and college.My overall impression is that this is something that I would buy to keep my notes in on a daily basis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This journal is fabulous. I love the sleek design and the guidance provided. There is a nice pocket inside the cover for documents. The paper quality is fabulous allowing the pen to glide across the pages with ease. The journal has prompts to date the pages so it can also be used as a planner/organizer. A great tool to use for journaling or keeping notes/thoughts in one place. Highly recommend!y

Good Concept could be even better.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Things I like about this journal:1)The size is great. Enough space to put everything on the page but not too big to carry around2) The thoughtful placing of pickets and straps. There are spots for a pen and business cards and loose papers and even a sturdy non-bulky strap that flips to hold it closed.3) Some basic note-taking tips at the front to make your notes more helpful. 4) Lined pages that are the right spacing and color to help with note-taking but not impede if you want to go outside the lines. 5) pages for sketching and tear-outs for daily to-do lists.6) a dedicated place for a date at the top of each page. What could be better:1) Needs more daily to-do tear-outs. There is only one tear-out every 6 or so pages. Would prefer to see it every other page or every 3 pages. I can see myself using them all up much more quickly than I would take notes to get to the same point in the journal. 2) same with sketch pages. Would like to see a few more of those because they can just double as a note-taking page if you don`t want to sketch. ___Overall: good notebook/journal. Better than most available out there and their nice features made me want to see more of those features.

Quality Starter Journal for all note taking needs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a quality journal for all your needs. Personally I like it for note taking for work and keeping it at my desk. This journal has great little convenience features like a pen holder on the spine elastic strap to hold the journal together business card holder and a fancy pocket on the inside cover to hold small documents. Paper is of exceptional quality and works well with all types of pens. I like to use ballpoint pens in this journal and it`s done quite well. They come in black red and grey as color options. Again a high quality journal with convenient pocket for business cards which make it great to take along to meetings. This is something I would recommend for anyone that needs a sturdy journal for notes on the go.

Quality but confusing journal.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a standard sized hardcover journal. The cover and binding are durable and constructed to last. The elastic strap is adequate seems to be attached well and can serve multiple purposes holding notes or business cards etc. for a meeting and also wraps around to hold journal closed. The paper stock is high quality white paper with gray lines. I tested several pen types (ballpoint/gel/felt tip) and had no issues with smearing or bleeding through. Permanent markers did bleed through. The pages are intended to remain so they are not perforated. The pages also have a spot for dates on the top right corner. It includes a binder sticker to label. That`s the good now the rest. There is a flimsy pocket on the inside of the cover and a `card holder` cut out of the front cover I think both of these will tear and don`t serve much of a purpose. There is an 4` elastic strap on the back cover no idea what this is for and a pen holder on the binding this is fine. Every five pages there is a page that is partially perforated with 9/12/5 for scheduling purposes and a sketch page one side blank one side lined every 10th page. I don`t find either of these features useful and would suggest they be placed either in front or back of journal instead of throughout. Overall I would recommend this for people who archive journals.

I need the double page entry format. I like the paper because it is not thin. Line spacing is sufficient. I like the pocketed hard binder.
