AHGXG Dotted Journal - 320 Numbered Pages Dot Grid Notebook A5 Thick Journal, 100gsm Thick Dotted Paper, Leather Hardcover,Inner Pocket, 5.75'' × 8.38'', Cyan

This is a nice journal if your primary goal is writing. It's paper is thick enough for a ball point pen, numbered, and has 320 pages. There is a reasonable lengthed table of contents in the beginning. There are two satin bookmark ribbons that are very secure. The stencils are very usable. The pen holder and elastic strap are holding up nicely after 3 months of use. A couple of warnings for artistic journalers. The paper is not thick enough to prevent marker or felt pen bleed through. If you intend to use mildliners or other water based markers, it will bleed. It's best to use 0.05 multiliners and color pencils to prevent bleed through. Micron and copic has a few colors in this size, just be careful not to push too hard as the nibs are fragile. I have also been able to use tape runner to add pictures and tickets over the bleed through. My washi tape works beautifully in the journal.

I got the A4 size journal with dot grid paper. Great quality paper for writing with a fountain pen. No bleeding through, can write on both sides without issue. The paper has an excellent surface feel and performance. The book lies flat when open, making writing easier. There are two placeholder ribbons and there’s an envelope in the back cover to stash things, for me it’s a small sheet of blotting paper. The journal includes an elastic band to keep it closed. The only additional feature I would want is an elastic or leather pen holder. I would like to see the elastic used for the closure band be a sturdier grade. The elastic used is very lightweight, not really suitable for this purpose. However I wouldn’t downgrade for that.

I love this notebook so much. The cover is a beautiful color, and feels quite sturdy. It opens great, so the pages lie completely flat. The dot grid is light enough that it's not obnoxious/distracting. I really like how it has page numbers & a table of contents at the front! My pens do bleed a bit (not getting color onto the page underneath, but you can see through the pages a bit), but tbh I've never found a journal that doesn't do that lol, so I'm fine with it. I also just really love the size of this notebook, since most dot grid journals don't have enough pages for a full year bullet journal, but this one is perfect for me. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase, and will likely get another one of these next year!

I open, write inside, and flip through this notebook multiple times a day. The threading on the pages is reliable, and the paper is strong. Currently on page 274 of 314 and every single page is intact and still secured to the binding. The paper stays flat when opened. The dotted grid keeps my writing and drawing neat. It takes to post-it notes and bookmarks really well, with little bulging of the hardcover. It’s also a great size; it feels good in my hands in terms of shape and weight. The only flaw is that when I pulled to hard on one of the bookmark strings, it almost came out. It’s still attached but the piece of cloth that is supposed to keep the string glued down is now peaking out the top of the spine—a minor cosmetic issue. Lastly, some of my fountain pens will bleed through but not my ballpoints. This may just be the ink or nibs I’m using to write. Highlighters will bleed if I overdo it. All said, I highly recommend this if you want a sketchbook or free-form journal that is archival-level quality.

Great journal - nice hard cover, thick inside cover page, 3 content pages, smooth paper, numbered pages, and I love that the dots are light. I prefer lightly dotted journals like the leuchtturm1917. And it’s a good price! (Got mine on a deal for $9.99) However, I love writing with fountain pens and these journals are not fountain pen friendly. There is a lot of shadowing and bleed through (especially after I refill my fountain pen). I really wanted to love this journal, but it’s not enjoyable to write with fountain pens. Some of my markers also show shadowing and bleeds through. It’s a great journal, just not for me.

I have gone through so many journal brands over the years and this one has become my standard re-purchase, balancing out price and quality. I’m starting my third one and back to order a backup when that one runs out. I use mine for an all-purpose bullet journal with to-do lists, daily journal pages, budgeting, etc. so I do go through them fairly quickly. 316 pgs, no bleed-through using my favorite Sharpie black pens, two ribbons, elastic closure and one to hold a pen. Decent sized pocket in back and I don’t use them, but the two little pages of stencils included are cute designs. I dress mine up a smidge with a vinyl sticker monogram on the cover and use it all day long very day.

My favorite full sized dotted journal. Doesn’t bleed through easily. Excellent quality paper. Well bound. Comes in a bunch of colors and sizes. Love

First off the one thing that I always want to know about buying a journal is "Does it have a contents page?" It doesn't say in the description, but yes it does. About 4 pages so you can fill it in. The pages are pre numbered so I liked that as it saved me time having to number them myself. Page thickness is really good and paper quality matches that. You can use a felt marker and it won't bleed through. The cover is a nice leather feel, but you can put stickers on it and it won't fall off. I really liked the color, it was Fun new fresh take on the boring old black ones. I waited for it to go on sale for less than $10 bc I can't bring myself to pay more than that for trees. Value for the money was more than worth it. It's durable and the outside doesn't scratch easy. It's been thrown around here and there and still maintained its integrity. Very well built I'd say. I'm def going to purchase different colors. I liked that they offered a variety of off colors like yellow and the forest green. I'd def recommend one to anyone.

Llegó en excelente condición, y es tal como lo indica la imagen. Muy buen producto, lo recomiendo mucho

Just what I was expecting. I love the notebook. And it's big

Tolles Buch und gute Qualität

The paper is so soft. Perfect for fountain pen users. It doesn’t bleed.

Muy bonita la calidad de encuadernado. Este año me di el lujo porque será mi compañero todo el año y prefiero disfrutar mi experiencia de usuario.
