Great new handy journal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I`m loving using my new TruRed `Expert Guidance` journal. It is both well made & creatively designed. I like the little extras that make it easy to keep using on a daily basis. There`s a spot to hold my pen a folder to tuck in any documents & a cool band on the cover that I can tuck my phone or keys in while I`m writing sketching or taking notes in a meeting. Great product & I highly recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This journal is excellent accessory for the person who is still a fan of handwritten notes and work. I really like the detachable schedule option - it makes a great place to put your to-do list for the day & it is super convenient if you need to take it on the go. Paper is great weight and the product is well designed.

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.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Tru Red journal is fantastic I have a black one and right when I got it my hands I knew it was a solid quality product. It had a great elastic bad to keep it closed which is also very solid! Front cover has a pocket on the inside which is cool and the pages are a high quality paper and makes for a nice glide when writing with a pen. I really like the sketching sections too because I like to draw out my ideas quickly. I had my brother grab one for his contracting business. I wouldn`t change a thing I like this so much! It`s very customizable and stylish. I`m a happy guy!

Good Starter Journal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This journal has a good amount of pages and has a sturdy cover to protect it from daily use. It has some great pages for planning out your day and for me making daily checklists is very useful. The elastic band on the back cover is a nice touch which I assume is to assist in holding on the go. If I`m out and about I can pull out my journal and easily jot something down.

The Perfect Journal
on September 26, 2020

from scarsdale
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this journal! First of all I like the color of the journal ( grey) and the textured feel of the journal. Then there are the different features on the outside of the journal - the front of the journal has a pocket to slip in notes and also a an elastic tab on the side in which to put a pen; there is also a thick piece of elastic across the bottom front of the journal in which one can place papers and notes; and finally the back cover has another piece of elastic which will also hold papers and even a couple of pens.The inside pages are carefully lined with space on the side of each page to write notes or mark any meeting or appts. as there are numbers - 9 12 and 5 as in a clock. There are plenty of pages ( 192) and so it would take some time to fill them all up!

Great Journal

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this journal! It is well made. I like the hard cover and the elastic band that is built in to keep it closed. It has an inside pocket so you can keep track of you papers receipts and such. I also like the small elastic band that can hold a pen handy.The pages are not flimsy at all and made with quality paper every fifth page is a blank section that can be used for side notes sketching or just doodling :-). there is a section at the top of the page to date your notes and there is a column added to note anything you may have scheduled that day at a specific time. That is helpful in helping me with the many meetings I have daily. There is also a peel off sticker at the back of the journal to label your journal on the spine of the book! That`s a great idea for those of us who have a few journals that we may archive.All in all this is an awesome journal and I like it a lot I`d recommend it to anyone who likes to journal!
