RETTACYJournaling Notebooks, A4 Lined Notebook Journal with 320 Pages, 8.5" × 11", Large Size, Notebook Journal for Work, School, Writing, Leather Softcover, 100 GSM Thick Paper (Navy Blue)

I purchased this journal (and will be purchasing more when I’ve finished this one) for a project I’ve started where I’m writing the Bible by hand. I’ve filled about a third of the pages so far and have loved writing in it.The paper is heavy and high quality as advertised, and I write with a lot of pressure so this was a huge selling point. It also lays flat nicely when writing on the back sides of the pages; it’s bound very well!The cover is soft and flexible but still much sturdier than any paper covered journal would be. I am so happy with it!

I am an insurance professional and needed a new notebook for documenting projects. It looks great on my desk, the pages are sturdy and feels smooth to write on. I’ll definitely be ordering more!

What a beautiful journal. The look is expensive and elegant. It’s very sturdy and has weight to it. The pages are really nice. When writing in it the ink flows on the paper without skipping glow the writing is prettier.

I'm a huge fan of journalling and making lists to follow up on later so when I saw this journal I was really excited. I always feel like I run out of space very quickly when I use a journal and I tend to need more than 1 a year so I was very excited to see such a large journal.Im using this journal as a brain dump more than as a journal this time where I can track lists and a place to gather research information without having to change my journal out in a few months when I run out of space.I really love the color and the flexibility of this journal. This journal has a floppy soft cover so it's opens really well and you don't have to worry about wear and tear from opening the journal 100s of times like you do with hardbound journals.I also like that we have 3 bookmarks so you can mark multiple pages that you want to see often without having to constantly flip through all of the pages. I also like the elastic band for holding the journal closed. I find that once you've you used a journal for a long time it can become thicker and harder to close so its nice to have.

This notebook is good all around for work, personal, or recreational use. The table of contents is handy and even comes with tabs in a separate pouch if you wish to use it. Also comes with a built-in lanyard to keep track of your current page. It's a bit heavy and it'll be noticeable when carrying it around. One thing I like about it is how much space it has. No pointless rulings, border or headers. Just the paper itself, and one line on top of the page dedicated to the date. The pages do take some effort to rip out.The paper a step up above from the usual notebooks found in department stores. They're thicker, smoother resist water and spills more, and aren't as prone to ripping or tearing. Pencils, ballpoints, rollerballs and fountain pens worked really well with it.Speaking of fountain pens, this isn't friendly with them, especially with wet writers (Like Lamy for example) with wider nibs. Even with dry inks, it soaks through the page, causing massive feathering. At best, even fine nibs from Japanese pens- which write thinner- look wooly and fuzzy around the edges. It doesn't show off an ink's color properties very well. However! It absorbs ink so quickly, keeping smudging to a minimum. If you're left handed and always worry about smudging the pages with fresh ink, it dries quickly! See-through is fairly controlled too so both pages are useable and readable even with heavy ink. Personally, I use Japanese fine nibs so it's not an issue for me.Durability is good so far, with the binding holding up well even writing halfway through the book. I recommend having another book to write on it because it's awkward having to write with one side higher than the other.Overall, it's a neat notebook that feels like quality. I have two and use it for story writing and for studying. It has everything it needs to be an all rounded notebook: Plenty of room, organization options, large capacity, strong build, and great paper. Had this been slightly lighter and more fountain pen friendly, these would be a sleeper hit! A "If You Know, You Know" piece of stationery.

The paper is high quality and enjoyable to write on. The price is so good that you don't mind if you have large print and use more pages than most.

This is a really decent notebook. I purchased for note taking for grad school. The pages do ghost quote a bit. But I love the numbered pages and the double ribbon bookmarks. The table of contents/index pages are also perfect for keeping notes neat and tidy and make referring back to them easy.

Pretty color and large enough!
