RETTACY Dotted Journal Notebook, 2-Pack, 192 Numbered Pages per Pack, B5 Medium Size (7.6'' × 10''), Leather Softcover, 100 GSM Thick Paper, for Bullet Journaling, Planning (Black & Brown)

Overall, this is a quality set of notebooks. Whether or not it will work for you depends on your personal preferences / requirements / needs when it comes to a bullet journal. If you can look past the cons listed below, then this could be the journal you’ve been searching for. *I did not remove stars due to personal personal preferences. The journals were in excellent condition and perfectly functional according to the product description; thus, it received 5 stars. Pros: - Size: It comes in a B5! So few B5 journals are available compared to A5. For those who want a larger but not gigantic journal this is the perfect size. - Dot Grid: Dots line up fairly well across pages - Elastic closure, inner pocket, and two bookmarks NUMBERED PAGES: Big plus for not having to number pages by hand PAGE COUNT: 192 pages per journal is a lot compared to some other B5s Price: Two journals for this price is a good deal for B5 journals. Cons: - PAPER QUALITY: This journal has 100 gsm paper that feels grainy and thin. Personally, I would rather have fewer pages or have to number all my pages in exchange for better paper quality. Which is what I did. I returned these journals because a similar style had smooth, thick, quality 120 gsm paper with slightly fewer unnumbered pages. This is personal preference, however, so I didn’t remove any stars. - No index or contents pages - Soft cover: This may be personal preference. Although soft-cover journals are lighter and more portable (which is important to consider if you want to carry a journal of this size with you), there is a risk that the cover may not be thick enough to protect its pages from damage if you always bring it with you. The cover seems study enough for at-home use,

I grew up a Chandlers girl so since my teenage years, I’ve never really known a life without a planner. I feel like in the last 30 Years of my life, I’ve tried just about every planner out there. Discovering bujo was just the “life hack” that every planner and journal I’ve ever had before that was missing. After several years of refining my leuchttrum preferences, I took a chance on these last year, and all I can say is that I wish I was smart enough to have found them years before. Size-wise they are perfect for my needs. I love the fact that you get waaay more pages so it’s like everything I love but on steroids. No worries that I will run out of space during the year (done that), plenty of room to take notes and document everything I need to on a day to day basis. And then some. just as sturdy of a cover as the Leuchtturm and comparable journals. These are now my go-to’s for a daily journal and so happy that I stumbled across them. If you’re bujo-ing but like Looking for something more, these are definitely worth checking out. Very happy with my purchases and looking forward to staring a new one in 2023. 😊

I've been using these for a couple months and am very happy! The paper is a nice, thick quality - the vast majority of pens do not show through! There may be a faint indication from a sharpie-like marker. The cover feels great and generally looks really nice! It's hard to find dotted, page-numbered notebooks in a good price range. I'm happy I made this purchase!

These notebooks have become my go to work journal. They are spacious enough to keep track of everything I may need to reference. Also when I go to a client or another team site, they fit in with my laptop and add no real bulk or weight. They also look good when I pull them out at a meeting.

Smooth and nuce quality It just too heavy than other brand

I have been bullet journaling for years- and have used a ton of different journals. For me, this one is great, here’s why. This may help some of you realize that it will (or will not) work for you. —Dot spacing is helpful for me as I dislike super wide spacing, but the dots are pale enough that when I have a write-bigger-day I can use them for linear guidance but not worry about fitting into one line. (Not well said, but that’s what I like: guidance/structure, without rigidity for my writing) — thickness of paper is good for my pens (Uniball Jet-stream, either .38 or .5, black) and color pencils (Prismacolor). I do not like to do super dark, bold writing- if you do, there might be some bleed through. This thickness means lots of pages for the size and weight, but still works great for my pens. (I cannot work with Leuchtturm’s thin pages, nor Moleskine). — smoothness of the paper- this helps me with hand fatigue as my pen glides over it beautifully. I have never had smudging (uniball jetstream= pen of choice) … I do *not* use fountain pens which apparently like paper to have more tooth. I prefer my paper tooth-free :) — I like the ivory page color, have tried stark white pages and did not care for them at all. This is obviously personal and individual. — cover is soft and flexible (and I like pink) but sturdy enough I can toss the journal in my bag and between the elastic and the reasonable sturdiness, it holds up well. (Hardcovers are sturdier, obviously, but are less flexible in a bag or my hand and thicker/heavier- all of which I prefer to avoid) — The size! A5 journals are ubiquitous; I prefer this larger format. Like someone else said, a year fits in it, plenty of room for me to get artsy if I want (usually don’t) or add expansive collections (this I do) without worrying about running out of room. I put 2 weeks on a spread, which works better for my brain, but still allows for white space (which also works better for my brain than clutter). — I am on page 70 out of 190, so I cannot address the sturdiness super long term, but so far it works great. — I added a stick-on pen loop to see if I liked it, but find I never use it- instead, hooking the pen thru the elastic and letting that hold the pen straight between the elastic and the top edge of the notebook, parallel to the pages. Over time this has become my preferred pen-holding system. (See photo) — two ribbons for marking pages. Elastic band holds it closed reasonably. — I am not creating a major literary or artistic work- I am daily journaling. This mix of compromise of paper/cover/size/portability works well for me. Maybe for you, or maybe not. All notebooks compromise something- we each have our preferences for what we need/want or are willing to let go. Which might change over time; currently this is my notebook of choice. Hope my comments help someone else decide whether or not it might work for them.

Buch sehr schön - wurde allerdings auch beim zweiten Mal in sehr dünner Plastikfolie verschickt und hat deshalb Macken. Versand dauert recht lange.

Están hermosas y se sienten de súper buena calidad, escribir en ellas es súper satisfactorio.

Delivery came earlier than expected delivery time. Saw Stencil rulers x2 are included with the notebook. Slightly bended corner of the notebook but it's okay. It will flat out eventually. Thank you.

These notebooks have amazing paper Quality, recommend for Fountain Pen Users.

Me parecieron muy bonitos , se ven increíbles no me gusta mucho el punteado a comparación de otros que he visto (pero que cuestan el doble) pero aún así sigue siendo muy bello. El exterior tiene buena textura y las hojas son bastante gruesas para usar un buen rotulador. Excelente calidad para el precio 👍🏽
