AHGXG Bullet Dotted Journal - 150 GSM Dot Grid Notebook Journal, Thick Acid-Free Paper, A5 Dotted Notebook 128 Pages, Leather Hardcover, Inner Pocket, Journal Stencil, 5.7'' × 8.3'' - Sage Green

I’ve been using the AHGXG Bullet Dotted Journal for a couple of weeks now, and overall it’s been a great value-for-money choice for daily planning, journaling, and creative layouts. This dot-grid notebook strikes a nice balance between quality and price — especially if you want a dependable journal without paying premium brand rates. The 150 GSM thick dot grid paper feels sturdy and holds up well to most pens and markers with only minimal bleed-through or ghosting, which is impressive for the price point. I liked how smooth the pages feel — writing and sketching both come out clean, and the dots are subtle enough not to distract from your layouts. The faux-leather hardcover is a nice touch and gives it a premium look without costing a lot. The binding lies pretty flat when open, making it easy to draw and write across both pages, and it even includes a back pocket and elastic closure strap which are super handy for keeping things organized and secure.

I’ve ordered quite a few of these journals. They have exactly what I look for in a journal. A5 size, comes in hard and soft cover, has an index, numbered pages and fountain pen friendly. Even some of my wetter fountain pens do well with minimal amount of bleed through. You get a lot for the price. I even gave some away as Christmas gifts along with a nice Wordsworth and black roller ball pen. Try these out. I think you will enjoy them.

I ordered this dot grid notebook for a yearly journal. I had intended to purchase a 160gsm paper journal but found this one to be a better size even with the thinner paper. I am not disappointed! This paper is smooth and sturdy. So far it has taken glue, tape roller, stickers, markers, fountain pen, and gel pens like a champ. No shadowing, and no bleed through at all. The signatures are sewn in so it will hold up to lots of use and it stays open without much assistance. The thin leather (PLU?) cover is attached to thick cardstock to form the cover. It is softish but not so soft that it will become misshapen. Overall this is a fine notebook. Great price for a great product!

Beautiful cool, dusty blue color. Exactly what I was looking for in terms of larger size and squared pages. (The typical A5 size is too small for me to use as a bullet journal/to do list for my work). Very thin and flexible, light enough to carry around to meetings and other offices. My only complaint is that the paper does tear toward the bottom/top when I don’t mean for it to. Not perforated, just seems a little loosely attached. Much cheaper than the Moleskine brand I was buying before, so it works.

I could not be galleries happier with this journal! I use it as a junk journal and I’m stretching and pages and binding to the max. Both are withstanding the test! High quality cover, thick pages, no bleed through with pages, beautiful deep green color! I 1000/10 recommend this as an option for your journal collection! (It even has a pocket in the back cover!)

This notebook is bigger than I expected, which is actually a good thing! There’s plenty of space for notes, sketches, or anything else you need. The grid lines are clear but not too dark, so they don’t get in the way. It’s sturdy, well-made, and will LAST a long time. Definitely worth it if you need a reliable graph paper notebook!

Nice notebook and watercolor brush colors staying put and not bleeding through.

Overall, not too bad for the price but I am a stationery snob and am really picky. I have found better journals at the dollar store and Daiso for $5. Pros: Worked with all my regular pens (gel, ball point etc). The only "pen" that bleed was a staples brand permanent fine felt tip and assumed it would. I just wanted to try it for "science". Cons: Cover (front and back) are bowed. They don't lay flat. My BIGGEST issue and this is why I gave it 3 stars.... the PAPER IS YELLOW/CREAM. Not as white as shown in the photos. My photo is this journal on the left and other journal paper on the right. I prefer white paper. It doesn't have to be bright white but this paper is far from what the photos look like and honestly made me angry.

O caderno é muito bonito, o papel é de qualidade. Infelizmente veio com um amassado fundo na parte inferior da lombada, um defeito de fábrica eu acredito, e não de transporte - uma pena do ponto de vista estético já que a caderneta parece ter um acabamento tão bom.

my fineliners and even coloured pencils ghost and bleed through
