  Awesome journal! The..., October 4, 2011

By vik...

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.

  Really love this journal,..., March 1, 2012

Really love this journal, it actually exceeded my expectations in many ways.

The cover is lovely; a beautiful spring green color and it offers some protection (though without a closure, it's more or less to dress up your journal). I half expected it would look 'plastic like' but not so! It opens without buckling under the spine, so it doesn't interfere with your ability to open your journal fully/lay flat against your desk.

The journal itself is why I didn't give this a 5 star rating. The lined/undated journal offers very little writing room for actual journaling/writing. Nearly a third of of your 5"x7" page is obstructed by an unnecessarily large date field. The actual lined area leaves you with a 4.25"x4.75" writing space. I do however appreciate the quality of this journal - it is perhaps one of the best constructed journals I've ever had the pleasure to write in. The paper quality is smooth and works well with my Pilot Cavalier Fountain pen and I love how you can open to any section of the journal and have it lay flat without any effort.

I was slightly disappointed to later learn that the refills only come in three options: Blank, Lined/Undated (what comes with this journal) and Graph. I would love to see a Lined option without any date fields taking up the first third of my page. I do happen to like writing on Graph paper though, so I've purchased a graph refill today and I'm really looking forward to receiving my order.

Great buy! Highly recommend :).

I used to use a Kokuyo series of notebooks but when I was ready to reorder I found that the notebooks had been discontinued. Very sad day for a creature of habit. The other lines of Kokuyo notebooks aren't as appealing so I ventured out to find something new. I decided to give this journal a try and I must admit the green leatherette was an added bonus. The pages in this notebook are high quality, no ink bleed thru. I like that I can list the date as well as my appointments for the day at the top of the page and have the rest of the page to take notes and keep track of my daily tasks. The size is perfect for my work bag or purse. And being that the leatherette is refillable, I don't have the unnecessary waste I find with most leather journals. I've already ordered refills so that they will be available when I need them and I've sold my staff on using them as well. I recommend this journal for any business person who is constantly on the go or in meetings where you have to quickly jot things down.
