Exacompta Club Leatherette Refillable Journal - Black - 5" X 7" - 192 Sheets - Lined/Undated

I am always on the lookout for journals that are good for fountain pens... This one is not. It is made with Clairefontaine 64gr... but it bleeds through. Tried with are variety of fine and x-fine nibs and several brands of ink... half of it was bleed through the other half very dark see through.

Nice journal, but not for me... Leveger Stanley refill work great, and Rhodia webbies are fantastic.

Best journal I've tried to date. I am in the quest for writing instruments, pens & papers, as part of a self-imposed long-term songwriting project - going "old school". I turned to JetPens to find, and experiment with, tools for handwriting. Writing with pen and paper helps to start and maintain the creative process in a way that computers cannot.

So far the Exacompta Journal is about as close to perfection as I could hope for. The size is a great compromise between too small and too large. The paper is a pleasure to write on and the refillable cover holds the refill securely (and looks beautiful). The lined refill has room at the top of each page for date and notes. The pages are permanently bound, they are not removable nor can extra pages be inserted. This is very important for my work, especially when it comes to proof of copyright.

I love writing with this system. I plan to order a bundle of refills to keep a consistent set of records of my handwritten songs. I also ordered another Exacompta Journal in a different color to jot down ideas (e.g. TItles, themes, storylines).

I bought this notebook to replace my old list notebook that I had for years and I am very pleased with it. It is smaller then I expected but that's my fault for not reading the dimensions. It's not too small though I find it perfectly adequate. I got the lovely purple cover which is very nice and seems very durable. I love the tear away corners. I love the little bookmark. And I love the paper. It really is high quality. I write with all different kinds of pens and every pen has written like butter on this paper. I love it very much and will be purchasing another one in pink once it is in stock again.

Awesome journal! The cover is soft, flexible, and durable. I love the color. Its the perft size. I couldn't wait for out to arrive, now that I have it, I don't want to waste out on work notes or minutes. Its far too special. I'm definitely going to buy the journal refills.

I love these journals! I already owned a Nostalgie cover in the Fleur de Lis, but I absolutely had to have a second cover. The paper is smooth, a perfect compliment to my extra fine point pens. One of my favorite journals!
