Dotted Journal A5 Hardcover Notebook, SULIRUN1981 Dot Grid 120gsm Thick Paper 160 Pages Journal for Writing with Inner Pocket Faux Leather Cover - Black

I love these. I've now bought all the marbled colors. I am a book binder who needed a journal set for myself, had nothing that wasn't already promised to someone else, but just didn't want to sew even more book just for myself.So, I found these and i am surprisingly very satisfied (doesn't happen often outside of buying handmade books.) The covers are firm yet so soft and cozy to hold. There is stitching that finishes the edge between cover and spine material, which gives it a polished and approachable feel. The pen holder works. The construction is sturdy and attractive. The sewing was done with small signatures (# of sheets per group of pages) and a 10 point sewing through each. Pretty typical for manufactured books and should hold up nicely. The closure is effective without being tight. I don't foresee it or the other attachments ripping through the cover material. The lay-flat style is functional because of how the spine is made. And the whole thing is just darn pretty to me. Oh, and I thought the dotted pages were really going to bug me to journal on, but it's not as annoying as I imagined. Still not my favorite, but I'll deal with it for the rest of the book.Despite not being hand-sewn like the rest of my journal collections, it's a set of books I will enjoy keeping and displaying. I will update this review in the future if anything changes.

I bought two of the champagne gold journals and I'm quite pleased with the journals.. pages are thicker than the normal Moleskine, which I like. I already have damages to the edge of the cover.. but I'm pretty rough with it so I think that's my fault.. I think its a good journal for bullet journaling.. which is what I use it for. There is a little bit of ghosting.. I don't really use pens that bleed so, I don't really have an opinion on that part. Personally, I'm ok with the three bookmarks but, I don't really have a use for them so, they kinda of just get in the way. The page color is pretty good.. its not quite white but, its more on the lighter side of cream. I don't mind it too much. In conclusion, I give this journal a solid 5 out of 5. I would definitely buy another one from this brand. Hope this helps. Happy Writing!!

I originally bought this as a gift for my roommate who loves journaling. This journal saw a lot of bus trips, backpack time, and "oh, did you forget paper? Let me rip you out a page" situations. Now with every page full, I can honestly see that it held up beautifully. She writes voraciously and usually goes through journals within a couple of months, but this one lasted her the better part of a year because it doesn't have lines. She has small handwriting and the dots gave her a chance to use that to her advantage and never waste space on the paper. She loves the little loop of elastic for her pen, and I think this simple feature sets this notebook apart, making it more useful and accessible when you only have a few minutes to spare and don't want to spend them looking for something to write with. I've bought one to start journaling in myself (she rubbed off on me). And now that she's getting married, I'm buying her three more for her wedding.

I love these journals so much! I make customized journals for my friends & for sale and after looking for a long time, I finally found the perfect type. I've bought 4 already. It's sturdy, durable, feels so soft (idk I just love the cover's texture so much), and the different colors look just as beautiful as they do on screen.The photos I posted are examples of my work. Everything always comes out so beautifully on these journals!

The cover is an interesting material, soft but almost leathery. It's hardcover, so it's durable and structured. The pages are a cream color, the dots are smaller but fairly dark to where they show through lighter color markers, but it's not super distracting so I don't mind. The pages don't show through too much, so they seem fairly standard for 120 gsm. As a whole it's a good quality for regular bullet journaling. The only part I'm not super fond of is the pen loop on the spine, due to its placement it can make it sort of difficult to get a pen into/out of, but it's workable.

This is by far my favorite notebook I have purchased for Bullet Journaling. I researched for awhile after my favorite brand Minimalism Art retired the BuJo I started with and had no complaints with. This Sulirun1981 has meet all of my expectations in the short weeks I have had it. Sturdy, Beautiful, and the 3 ribbons for book marking is very convenient. None of my pens (Faber Castel, Superior Micro Line, Bic) have bled through the paper, and the paper doesn't seem "too thick"Very pleased with this purchase!!

Amazing!! So happy I was able to find this notebook and my daughters favorite color..I would have paid twice the price at A local office supply store .... Just beautiful!!! Super strong binding, lovely durable tough covers.. I am so in love with this Notebook! Come as beautifully packaged, so makes for a really good gift idea.Amazing Value!

This is a great journal! It’s sturdy and very well made. If you have to tear a page out it doesn’t mess with the rest of the book.
