Good quality attractive notebook

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed this notebook because of the smooth paper and sleek appearance. The cover is quality leather and looks expensive while the binding is pretty tough as well. Overall this is a great value for a nice work backpack need.

Leather Notebook
on October 11, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Whether I was carrying my backpack or a purse the Tru Red Notebook is the perfect size. It doesn`t take up too much space and the elastic band kept it closed so the pages wouldn`t get crinkled which is very important since my backpack is typically full. There are two bookmarks which is something that I didn`t think I needed but I could see the value in having two. The notebook is very sturdy and the ruled pages are of really good quality - not flimsy. It`s a little plain but it looks sleek and professional. You can feel comfortable using it in a business meeting class or as a journal. There`s a tiny pocket in the front that I guess is to hold a business card. I didn`t see the purpose of that at all. Other than the tiny pocket there`s nowhere to hold other pieces of paper. It would also be helpful if there was an ink pen holder. The notebook would make a really good gift especially if you`re looking for gifts for coworkers.

Nearly perfect grid journal
on October 11, 2019
Posted by: S.N.
from Los Angeles
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a beautiful classically styled journal with quality features that make it easy for an EDC (every day carry). This journal features a sturdy yet flexible cover (front and back). I use a similar journal but the front and back are hard which I frankly prefer however mine is slightly heavier as a result of the hardcover. You can easily fold this cover back onto it`s self which I can also do with my hardcover version so I think it`s a personal choice. The quality of the interior paper pages feel substantial and the grid is easy to see even in low-light conditions but is not so defined as to be distracting. There are two different colored ribbon bookmarks attached at the top which I find very useful. I can use one to mark a page that I need to return to for some reason (finish a drawing or an unfinished thought) and use the other ribbon to mark the next clean page so when I open the journal I can get right to it. I really like they are different colors so you can identify a specific function for each color (e.g. gray ribbon is pending/unfinished pages and black ribbon is new page). What is missing for me -- and in my opinion keeps it from a perfect rating is a pen or pencil loop. My current journal has this loop and I am forever saved by knowing I don`t have to dig around to find a pen/pencil before using the journal. Often I need to use the journal to jot something down immediately. I know when I need to use it quickly and pull it out of my bag I am ready to go. This Flexi PU journal does not have a pen loop which may also be a personal choice as it adds another 1/2-3/4 inch to the overall width of the journal depending on diameter of your writing instrument.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It`s a great notebook. Sturdy flexible the elastic strap is great when you keep loose papers or receipts with it for safe keeping. Nice if it had a pocket on the inside cover.

Great quality notebook

from Fairfax
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use notebooks all the time whether it`s to journal or jot down to-do lists for my day job so I test out a ton of notebooks monthly since I frequently run out of them. Well I like everything about this notebook. The size is just right- it fits in your car`s glove compartment or book bag. The quality is excellent- the leather cover and elastic band makes it seem like you should be paying quite a bit for this luxury item. It`s super useful- the ruled lines are just the right size and it`s very durable. Hands down my go to notebook now!
