Nice journal!

[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.

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.

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!

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.

Best Journal Purchase
on May 31, 2020
Posted by: Paul
This Journal is absolutely beautiful. The red cover is stunning. It has great added features like a business card slot on the cover a durable elastic band to hold the cover closed an elastic pen loop holder and a gusseted pocket to hold my most important documents. The page layouts are also great. I love the narrow ruled lines on the heavyweight paper and the numerical To Do List every 30 pages or so. Such a fantastic product. Journal was also delivered in 1 business day which is also a plus.
