アピカCD NOTE B5 Premium CD Notebook, Line, CDS120Y

This notebook makes you want to write on it!!!!!Great quality, pages are soft and ink doesn’t run

Really good note books. They lay flat and are silky smoot. A little bleed through by very little ghosting. I love how smooth the paper is. I journal and do some design work on the dot grid. I will purchase many in the future.

This is thick, smooth paper in a notebook that lies flat. The paper is perfect for fountain pens, which are my preference. The B5 size is just right for my purposes.

Favorite journal!

I write journal by hand. This is hands down the best notebook I have used regarding the luxurious paper, size, and je-ne-sais-quoi that only people who love good stationery will understand.

The notebook is beautiful with high quality paper. Perfect for fountain pens. Unfortunately it is not a true B5 size and I’ll be unable to use it with my B5 notebook leather cover. The width is correct but it’s about 0.5 inch too tall.I’ve included comparison photos to Rhodia and Mead B5 notebooks. You can clearly see the navy cover is sticking out from the top and is taller than the other two notebooks.A little misleading to advertise this as B5 size.

For me, this is close to the perfect notebook -- much better than the other name brand quality notebooks. The white paper is of high quality with negligible tint, the notebook opens flat throughout, and the 7mm ruling is perfect for my preferred writing size. The B5 size is smaller than the sometimes clunky letter-sized books and larger than the less roomy pads and pocket notebooks giving the avid writer plenty of space for expression while not feeling like you are burning through the pages. The only downside for me is the covers are soft -- a feature that is likely a plus for others -- but a good notebook cover takes care of that and doesn't detract from what is the best notebook I've ever used.

I am very excited to receive this!I would have given 5 stars but I took off points for delayed delivery and mild damage. my beef isn’t with the notebook, it looks absolutely beautiful the paper feels smooth and looks promising! my beef is with whoever the middleman is, because my original order got cancelled and refunded idk why and so I had to reorder it and I have been so excited and waiting for it to come and i had to wait like an extra week!regards the mild damage! its a soft cover journal, the covers feel like 120 lb card stock, so I don’t expect it to be protective, but mine did arrived slightly damaged from transit which is fine bc it was going to get its corner squished eventually but still :( I think the corners are pretty vulnerable damage? anywayz, the good news is that the red card stock covers have a subtle metallic/glittery quality to them that’s really low key but super pretty under direct light.the front cover looks good!! if you want to be picky— the gold premium stamp is a *tiny* bit crooked. also I didn’t process that it would say “Choose the paper like you would a good pen” on it but thats my bad for not looking at the picture better.anyway!!! I’m so excited and hopeful for this notebook!!!! it looks beautiful! cant wait to play with it!!!
