Blank Journal Notebook, A5 Hardcover Leather Sketchbook with 200 Pages Thick Blank Paper for Men Women, Unlined Drawing & Writing Journal, 5.9" x 8.4" Plain Notebook (black)

I purchased these PAIBAS lined journal notebooks in five different colors to give as Christmas gifts, and I was very happy with them. They actually look better in person than online and have a nice quality feel for a journal at this price point. They’re not overly expensive, but they don’t feel cheap either — a great balance if you’re buying multiple gifts. One thing I really appreciated was the ability to order a different color for each person, which made each gift feel a little more personal. Paired with a nice pen, they made a very thoughtful and well-received gift. I liked these journals very much and would definitely consider ordering more in the future for gifting occasions.

Ordered for my daughter, great quality journal with a nice soft texture. Love the front pocket and three book mark ribbons. Very classy and a great gift.

I've ordered journals from this company before and got just what I expected: A quality product. The color wasn't what I thought I'd get, but that's probably due to the fact that my computer's monitor colors are off and I can't figure out how to adjust them. The snap on the strap is tight--almost too difficult to unfasten and refasten--but that's good as that means the journal isn't going to pop open in a bag or backpack. There is a nameplate/personal information page under the flyleaf page, which I liked, though I didn't use all the spaces created for the various pieces of information. This is for personal use, and I did not feel comfortable adding some of that information. Pages are thick enough that my fine tipped Sharpie Pen's ink doesn't bleed through, and I write in black ink due to poor eyesight. For use, it's a little flexible, as the pages are not numbered. Neither are they perforated, which I really like; some journals I've gotten, even good quality ones, had perforated pages that could be torn out, and as I'd like to keep the pages in this journal, I'm glad they are not perforated. A rather spartan journal, it has in one corner of each page a simple weather "indicator", below which are a line of boxes with the initials of the days of the week (starting on Monday). The opposite corner, on the upper right, of each page has a line for "Memo Number" below which is a space, with slashes preprinted, for the date. Pages are ruled with finely-dotted lines on both sides, and an off-white color that is easy on the eyes. The journal's three bookmarks are firmly attached and didn't come loose when I tugged firmly on each one individually. Pages appear to be bound by stitching, and while they do not always lie flat upon opening the journal to some spots, are still flexible enough to do so when pressed down gently. Overall, I'm as pleased with this product as I was with the one I purchased years ago, and have no current complaints. I've added some photos, including two measuring the journal's thickness against a ruler; they're at best approximations, but both the Inch and the Centimeter measurements should provide a better idea of how thick this particular journal is. The photos may need to be enlarged in order to see the marks on my clear ruler.

I purchased for my 14 year old granddaughter who loves to sketch . The quality was better than expected. Absolutely beautiful, nice thickness for paper. The cover was really nice quality. I would buy again.

The paper could be thicker BUT this is a nice notebook with a functional button and front pocket. The embossed front is also nice. The paper takes ink pretty well I have some gels smear but it’s not terrible. Good notebook, would be a good gift.

Nice notebook. Perfect size for my needs. Page count is huge. Very sturdy built and nice cover

Love love love. The cover is sturdy and looks just so inviting to open the page and journal. Design, the quality, value for money is totally worth it. Highly recommend

This book is perfect! Wonderful quality, the cover is very soft and has a pocket on the cover for pens or other papers. The pages inside are very durable and great quality as well. Highly recommend!
