Nitoms S4102 STALOGY Notebook, B5, Squared, 365 Days Notebook, Black

Awesome. Two thumps up.

I've been looking for new notebooks for a while, and I found Stalogy after seeing some this notebook reviewed on the Gentleman Stationer and Pen Addict blogs. The paper is thin, even thinner than Tamoe River paper, but it works for me. I'm using it as my scientific notebook, writing with a Pilot Metal Falcon with EF nib and Pilot Iroshizuku Take-sumi ink, and there is only slight ghosting and no bleedthrough or feathering so far. The grid and proprietary calendar features are printed in a relatively light shade of gray, so they don't distract.Stalogy has designed this notebook to avoid some of the features that seem to be typical in other journaling notebooks, such as built-in pockets and ribbon bookmarks. This is perfect for me, as I find built-in ribbon bookmarks get in my way more frequently than they are useful, and I just don't like and won't use the built-in pockets. I know a lot of people love these features, but I'd rather not have them, and I've found it difficult to find good notebooks without them.The Stalogy notebook is softcover, and one can see a little of the spine stitching imprinted on the spine's cover material. The binding is better and more robust than a lot of the hardcover notebooks I've seen. The soft cover feels like a fine-textured plastic, but it's sturdy enough. I'll almost certainly want to supplement with a cover for carry.

I have now tried these notebooks in every size they come in. The paper is really my favorite for all types of pens. I now want to get nice leather covers for each size and make them a little more classy. Love the Stalogy line. With all the stalogy add ons you can create a custom journaling / planner system of your own choosing and with high quality materials and yet simple designs.

Writers are creatures of habit! I love these notebooks and purchase them over and over. The pages do not bleed and they are thin to get so much writing in one book. I write every day and love the size of this as well. The grid layout allows me to keep my writing straight while not being overpowered by the lines.

I really love the size and heft of this notebook. The paper is thin and semi-transparent but I enjoy it; I’m using it for classwork and notes and it reminds me of an illustrated manuscript made on parchment. It’s also quite thin (for holding so many pages), lays beautifully flat, great paper for fountain pens, and the graph is a good size for my handwriting. Everything looks neat and tidy. It isn’t a pure white, but definitely not as cream/off-white as the hobonichi and the grid is a bit larger too.

If Hobonichi and a bullet journal had a baby, this would be it! 😆 LoVE love love this journal! I love its bigger size, the love the blank pages, and I love the paper it's made with. It does bleed or ghost but not any more than most other bullet journals. The graph on the paper is light enough to not be in the way but still help you with straight lines and sizing your embellishments. The BEST PART: the PRICE!! At a fraction of the price of a Hobonichi, it can't be beat. I will continue to buy these as long as they stay priced reasonably.

The images online sometimes show calendars and super cute weekly organization pages. It is just grided paper. I do still actually love this note book the size was maybe larger than I intended but it is great quality and I use it for note taking.holds up well against folding it in have multiple times.

I bought this to use as a daily planner and I LOVE it! I will never go smaller than a B5 for a bound book planner ever again!
