LEUCHTTURM1917 - Notebook Softcover Pocket A6-123 Numbered Pages for Writing and Journaling (Plain, Anthracite)

I love this notebook! It has 411 pages, which is just the right size and will last a long time. It handles fountain pen ink really well and is a joy to use. I might even get a second one in the future. I highly recommend it!

I actually ordered the wrong item when I ordered this. I have always used the A5 size dot journals. This one was quite a bit larger. I was very disappointed when it arrived and was not looking forward to using it. I began this new journal in January of this year. I LOVE it. The larger pages allow for so much more information, writing, art, memoirs, stickers, and fun. This is now my very favorite size. As with all Leuchtturm notebooks, the binding is perfect, the cover is straight and sturdy, and the paper is a dream.

The Leuchtturm 1917 in B5 is the perfect size for my studio journal. I like the size and the generous number of pages. I don't feel like a Sasquatch trying to write on a postage stamp, but like the delicate, though aged, flower that I am. The pagination and dedicated index helps me to use the bujo method to create collections and string my collections in the indices so that I can keep track of the location of entries without creating any wasted space. I also like that I can string across volumes over time. The dot matrix is clear enough to see while I'm working without being distracting. The paper is a good weight and takes the inks I use without bleeding for the most part. In combination with a DIY concertina sketchbook to hold limited palette studies I am very happy with this set up. This particular item is the hardcover B5 but I also have the soft cover versions, as well as the A5 version.

Wonderful notebook, decent with fountain pens too! Its a chunky book 😄

I respect only two brands of notebooks: Rhodia and Leuchturm. :-) I love them - they are perfect for XF and F fountain pens.

Yeah...I received a bit of razzing when I initially purchased the Leuchtturm1917 Pocket Sized Soft Cover Notebook/Journal. I don't carry a smartphone around with me all day to occupy my time. This provides me with a distraction when I'm bored or have something I don't want to forget(getting old stinks!). For me it's just an all-purpose tool for writing down whatever. I learned this was a better brand and for only $10ish I decided to give it a shot! The Good: Quality. You can tell this is built for use and not to look pretty(although I think simple is good for me). Flexible Cover/Size. Perfect for taking with you because not all good ideas happen at home. Elastic Band. Keeps it shut for privacy although personally I wouldn't write/draw anything I didn't mind others seeing. Pages. Rounded corners for pocket comfort and the dots are actually useful(I was a skeptic). I can't vouch for bleed-through due to only using lead(Zebra M-103 mechanical pencil). The Bad: Bookmark. I know some people like it, but for me I think it looks silly on such a small notebook. I can flip through 121 pages in half a second to find my place! Table of Contents. Again, personal preference, but I feel your cheating yourself of space if you limit topics to certain sections. I suppose if it's going to be read by others I can see the point... Pen Loop. Ok, technically not a feature of the notebook itself, but the optional loop is incredibly expensive for what it is. I paid almost as much for the loop as I did the notebook! It is very functional, however, so they should have made it part of the notebook and just made it more expensive. I've only been using it for a couple weeks so I'll update later on. 4 stars for right now as my negatives are really just nit-picks. Jae

Love my Leuchttrum1917 notebooks... I have quite a collection of them!... my fountain pens love them... worth every dollar!!...fantastic quality!!..

This little notebook is oddly shaped, but if you can get past that you'll like it. My main concern is the shape being 3.5"x6". Its a great notebook dont get me wrong and i like it but that extra half an inch just annoys me. Being softbound it only has 123 pages i think and since its softbound the paper quality is worse than the hardcover. Still a very lovely notebook and worthy to be in my collection of notebooks, but that's just it it feels like a novelty purchase. It's still very usable and very sturdy. I like this notebook because it's fountain pen friendly to some degree, but other mediums, like the zebra mildliners bleed through. Use for your collection,but that's all i would use it for.

I’ve bought a number of leuchtturm as the pocket softcover is my usual go to easy travel notebook. The paper handles fountain pen ink in (EF,F,M,B) nibs well without bleed but with some ghosting from the low gsm of the paper. My main problem is the Inconsistent quality. I’ve found that on the dot grid versions I’ve run into misprint & cutting issues a fair number of times, and while the grid versions appear to be a bit better in QC in this respect in general it’s best to be wary when buying

Ich bin sehr zufrieden, aber nächstes Mal hole ich eine mit weniger Blättern :) wenn man es fürs Journaling benutzt bzw Junkjournaling, dann wird das Notizbuch schon sehr sehr dick…

Ich hatte mich für das Leuchtturm Buch entchieden, weil die Farbe des Covers mir sehr gefiel und das Format B5 ein guter Mittelweg zwischen DinA4 und DinA5 ist. Leider ist der Zeilensabstand für mich ungewohnt eng, so dass mir das Schreiben schwer fällt und ständig meine Ober- und Unterlängen miteinander kollidieren. Sowas fällt leider erst auf, wenn man mal ein paar Sätze geschrieben hat. On Top: ein normaler Kugelschreiber drückt schon sehr durch, so dass das Schreiben auf den nachfolgenden Seiten keinen Spaß mehr macht. Schade, aber für mich rausgeschmissenes Geld.

Bon article

I use these for work, easy to carry and the tear out pages are good to have on hand
