I see some people reduce their ratings because of the quality of the free paper that happened to be included. You can buy many different "passport size" notebook inserts that will fit, and they vary in quality. Why base your review of a leather cover on the quality of the free refills included? That's like buying a new printer and saying "the free paper wasn't top notch-- 3 stars." So the product itself-- the leather cover and elastic bands-- is absolutely exactly as pictured and described. It looks beautiful, and it is incredibly functional. Some people put one notebook inside and carry it in a front pocket. Some people jam 3-5 notesbooks inside and carry it around in a purse or backpack. If you do the latter, it's going to look like a leather cover on a stack of 3-5 notebooks. Travelers Notebooks would look the same (look up the pictures). Looks good, feels good in hand, seems to be high quality, and well-designed. If you don't like the notebooks it ships with, look for passport size refills from Midori or Muji.

So basically, I wanted a naturalist or pocket journal that wouldn't take up a lot of room, that also had a vintage look and feel. This worked perfectly. It came very well packaged. The paper is sturdy and has a nice vintage bridal white tone to it. It didn't ghost when I used ink, but it does have a slight shadow. That's not a problem for me. However, it won't hold up to wet mediums such as tom bow or watercolor. I love the refillable feature which will allow me to add a few sheets of watercolor paper for visual journaling later. As well as replacing the papers instead of having to buy a new journal, although I probably will for other subjects. It is real leather with a nice soft leather smell, nothing chemical or odorous. How to tell is you look at it magnified to see if it has skin pores. Faux leather or pleather won't have those, and this one does which I've included as a photo. It has an excellent polish, so it took bending it slightly to get those to show. Overall, I would recommend this if you're looking for something that's compact, with quality paper with a genuine leather cover for pocket journaling.

The Basics::: Upon delivery you will find the notebook in a plastic sleeve in a nice cardboard box that is also wrapped in plastic. You will receive the notebook itself plus 3 included blank page booklets/refills already secured in the notebook. If you prefer lined paper or other types, refills can easily be purchased here on Amazon. I already ordered lined paper when initially ordering the notebook and this is the brand I used. Midori Traveler's Notebook (refill 001) ruled The fit is good although the edges are square instead of rounded like the included blank refills. I do not have a preference but If you do then just be on the lookout for that I am sure you can find rounded edge refills. Initial Thoughts::: When I took the notebook out of it's packaging I couldn't help but immediately be satisfied with my purchase. Upon taking the plastic sleeve off of the notebook I noticed some superficial marks on the leather, which happens I know, but it made me wonder if they do that in the manufacturing process on purpose or if it just occurs. Either way it did not bother me as I thought it gave the notebook some character right out of the box. The notebook does seem to be a little darker then what was shown in the pictures, I actually like it better with the darker color. The feel of the leather itself is fantastic, soft and pliable, and has the beautiful leather smell to it. I expect it to age nicely over time. The notebook itself seems to be of high quality for this price, the bands that hold both the notebook closed and paper refills inside seem well made, and secure. I also find the 3 separate paper refills inside to be a unique idea. On the front of the notebook you will notice an embossed logo for the company Wanderings I assume, as far as I know they do not offer any custom personalization, but it is leather you can always go to someone and get it personalized any way you like upon receiving the item. So far I am very satisfied with this notebook, and as of now I recommend it 100%. This is defiantly a high quality product and Wanderings knows that and have put a Lifetime Guarantee to back it. Really that being said you can not go wrong in my opinion. Come January 2017 I will update this review based on how its held up and functioned for me. I have noticed that some of the reviewers received and discount/free notebook for a review so I will go ahead and say that I payed full price for the notebook and am merely leaving a review as I feel this product deserves one.

es del tamaño que necesito, es agradable al tacto y permite guardarla en le bolso sin que se estropee, por el tipo de encuadernado de cuero que cubre las libretas anteriores, muy contenta he quedado. me parecen un poco caro los recambios, salen a más o menos 3 euros por libreta, sería mejor que fuesen dos euros por libreta ya que los recambios se van necesitando periódicamente

Wanderings maakt een topproduct. Het omslagelastiek zit in de rug geknoopt en niet op de achterkant, zodat er geen vervelende bult onder je pagina ligt. Ook hun inserts zijn van betere kwaliteit. Deze boekjes zijn genaaid in plaats van geniet. Het kompas is een leuke decoratie voor een reisverslag, geschikt voor alle soorten reizen.

Goede quality van papier, sterke kartone buitenrand

Acquistata per un regalo ad un amico "viaggiatore!" è stata molto apprezzata! Le dimensioni sono perfette per poterla portare sempre con se senza essere di intralcio anche nei viaggi !"estremi"!. Bella, bella, bella. Nothing else.

I've used it for two weeks & really love the rustic look and feel of this TN. One thing i really like is that notebooks from Wanderings are saddle stiched, which is actually not easy to find elsewhere. This is going to be one of those TN I knew I'd adore for years. It comes with a lovely card and is well packaged.
