Ruled Notebook/Journal - Eco-Friendly Natural Cork Hardcover Writing Notebook with Pen Loop & Premium Thick Paper - A5 (5x8) Bound Classic Notebook - Lemome

Lovely notebook. The cork cover wasn't what I was expecting, it's treated to be more like a durable fabric than a typical cork feel, but given I was concerned how long the cork would last, I'm pleased to say I expect a very long time. You still get the lovely look and uniqueness but it's also as durable as a hardcover book or similar. It's lovely to write in, good quality paper, and comes with a few dividers to help organise sections. Overall, very happy. Perfect for what I bought it for. Would also make a lovely gift I think.

I'll be comparing this to LEUCHTTURM1917 337963 Notebook Medium (A5), 249 numbered pages, dotted, white as this is the notebook I had previously, and is probably the most common. I've had my Leuchtturm for 2 years. This time I got ruled, just personal preference, it's less chaotic. I'm using this as an adapted bullet journal. I got this journal this morning and I've already set it up.What I love-Solid quality.-The paper is 120gsm, which means almost no pen ghosting! Leuchtturm is around 80gsm and I couldn't use ink pens or watercolour. Heavier paper feels nicer to write on overall. In comparison, a professional artists sketchbook for watercolour is around 170gsm, which is impossible to ghost. There's no point in going any thicker for journals, as it would have to have a ridiculously small amount of pages.-There's 180 pages, less than the Leuchtturm, but I found that with the Leuchtturm I still had half of the journal left after 2 years. (Occasional journaling)-It smells like cork, which smells like the beach/summer.-The texture you see in photos is printed on but there is some actual cork texture to the front cover too. It's matt.-The Lemome logo is not intrusive, it's on the back.-The lines are dashed evenly, which makes vertical lines easier to draw. Best of both worlds of dotted and ruled. They're also not too dark or too light.-Rubber band is snug.-Back pocket, same as the Leuchtturm.-The pages are perforated.Other things to consider-No page numbers.-It's less pages, but it's still thicker than the Leuchtturm.-1 bookmark as opposed to 2.-The pages are a little lighter than Leuchtturm, but still Ivory colour.-There's a pen loop included.-You get a set of sticker tabs.-Comes in a nice black box, would be nice as a gift for someone.What I don't like-NothingIf you fill up pages quickly, want two bookmarks or really need page numbers, maybe this isn't for you. But this is my favourite journal by far and I'm really glad I tried it, I would pick this over the Leuchtturm again, especially when it's cheaper. Both of them are great so it ultimately comes down to your personal preferences.

Will buy again. Love this notebook. The elastic to keep it shut is really helpful. The perforated pages are helpful if you need to take a page out. Feels high quality.

nice looking book, feels nice also, the inside back folder compartment of the book isn’t glued down right but easy fix.I also thought this book would be A4 but it’s not, I think this needs to be advertised more clearly as I found this book after typing in “A4 Notepads”Other than this, nice looking and feeling book

I've been searching for the "perfect" journal for years (yes, I know, sad, isn't it?) andI think I might just have found it. I was looking for the closest approximation to the French school notebooks Marcel Proust used in the early years of the 20th century and this is the nearest I have found, even with a cork cover, which is doubly appropriate. It doesn't have pages numbering or a margin rule but I can live without that. The paper is cream, heavy, hight quality, fountain-pen friendly, with a dotted line that I feared might be a problem but in reality I had to look at it under a magnifying glass to see the dots or dashes. The pages are perforated and there have been some reports of pages falling out but only time will tell if that is a problem and there is always the elastic band to keep everything in order. It comes with a rear pocket, some sticky labels and a pen band, which I won't use and may remove.Now, all I need is the "perfect" pen and I can finally start my magnum opus.

I rarely leave reviews, but in this case the quality of the item is well worth a few minutes. I particularly like the ruled and individually perforated pages, and the whole thing has a quality feel. My purpose was for journalling, something new to me, and this fits the bill perfectly.

I love this notebook, I use it as a journal. Eco-friendly and aesthetically beautiful with great quality paper. I receive a lot of compliments about it.

Product is nice, pages thick, cover aesthetically pleasing, gift box nice touch. Came with slightly beaten gift box & dents on the spine, but not enough to complain to the seller about.Main issue is that the item boasts an eco-friendly USP (albeit only referencing the cork cover), but the seller doesn't necessarily embody this ethos anywhere else in their business. Product came with unnecessary packaging, including a non-recyclable single use plastic wrap... just seems non-sensical given the product right?Not everyone is buying this for the eco-friendly value, but still strange to have such a glaring double standard.Overall, good product, borderline too expensive for what it is, but purchased as a gift for someone conscious of the environment.

È diventato il mio inseparabile compagno di vita lavorativa.Molto comodo ma soprattutto molto resistente.Pagine spesse che ho trovato fantastiche visto che adoro scrivere ancora con penna stilografica

C'est un très bel objet, sa couverture en liège est magnifique et agréable au toucher. Il dispose d'un élastique de fermeture et d'un autre petit élastique cousu dans la couverture arrière pour glisser un stylo ou autre crayon.Les feuilles sont discrètement lignées en pointillé, le papier est d'une bonne épaisseur, et il y a une ligne prédécoupée en marge gauche si on souhaite détacher une page. Un ruban fait office de marque-page, il y a une pochette cartonnée à l'arrière etLe carnet est livré dans un étui de carton blanc marqué sobrement "I'm a gift" en gravure dorée au centre d'une de ses faces. Tout est parfait, il ne reste plus qu'à écrire.

I accidentally purchased the lined notebook instead of the dotted one since the information on the product was not very obvious (or I just wasn't paying attention) however, I'm in love with this notebook! the cork design is really nice and the pages are super thick. will purchase the dotted version next!

Se ajusta a lo descrito a nivel de diseño pero ademas la calidad es muy buena.Para el precio que tiene lo supera con creces.

Ottima fattura, ottima carta, ottimo aspetto.Utilizzo una stilografica con inchiostri di vari colori e a volte abbastanza liquidi.l'inchiostro non passa da una pagina sul retro della stessa come invece accade con taccuini anche di marche molto famose m...
