Composition Notebooks College Ruled - Soft Cover Leather Thick Journal, B5 Large Notebook, with Free Sticky Notes, 204 Numbered Pages,100gsm Lined Paper, for Writers Students, 7.5"x10"- Black

Absolutely love this notebook. First off, it has a very premium feel to it: the cover feels amazing, and the paper feels amazing - very thick, yet soft & smooth. Second, it has a lot of nice features like page numbers, pocket in the back, band for closing the notebook, & ribbon for marking pages. Will definitely be buying more products from EMSHOI.

You should first know, I am a stationary freak. Pens, paper, notebooks, stamps, ink- you name it. I am picky when it comes to these things. I don't like spirals (the paper always ends up tearing out accidently and they are a pain to write with the the spiral binding getting in the way), composition books always fall apart and I can usually only find in wide-ruled (despise wide-ruled...) so I've been hunting for a notebook that has a binding that would allow the notebook to lay flat, was durable, had paper with that perfect thickness where the ink wouldn't run through, and simply looked nice. This notebook met all those expectations and more. This, is the BEST notebook I've bought in years. Haven't found anything close to it in stores. It's cover is soft leather and feels oh-so-good in your hands. The elastic it comes with is helpful in keeping it closed and it has TWO ribbon markers (which was a pleasant surprise), and the pages are all numbered and has a helpful table of contents (perfect for finding specific chapter notes in my language course I'm taking). I know most of that is in the description before you buy, but this notebook- you just don't understand how amazing it is until you have it in your hands, and you're sweeping your pen across its' pages. I look forward to class, just to take out my beautifully soft, leather notebook, and write on its' silky, college-lined pages...I NEED another one of these. I want one in every color they have. Doesn't matter that I don't have a need for more at the moment, I just want a stack to gaze at admirably when I'm sitting at my desk, or have it be the last thing I look at when I fall asleep. It's so perfect...

This notebook is really great quality, despite the low price point. The soft cover feels like aged leather and the paper thickness is just right to prevent various ink bleeds (success with G2 pens and brush markers so far). The added bonus of the stencils in the convenient back pocket really took this purchase over the top for me. All in all, it’s a beautiful notebook and the colors are perfect!

I am a journal junkie, I can’t resist a new beautiful journal. But this time I wanted something that had a good size, simple and clean looking, and one that I can fill up with stickers that I get throughout the year. This is my second journal from the brand. It’s perfect for me. The paper is thick, love the soft cover. The size is perfect because I realize that I hate writing in small journals. I’ve gotten the dotted, perfect for bullet journaling. This year I gotten lined though for traditional journaling. I really hope they never stop making these. If I see them on sale I’ll probably buy an extra one for backup. I got that soft sage like green one this time and it looks really nice. Recommend.

This notebook is very nice quality with a faux leather cover and thick pages. It is the perfect size to throw in a bag or carry around. The pale blue color of the color is pretty and looks like the photos. The pages are numbered and there is a space to write the date. I especially like the table of contents area at the front, which helps me refer back to certain notes. The only weird thing I noticed is that it REALLY soaks up gel ink pens. I’m talking an entire pen in just 7 pages… it happened several times. The ink doesn’t show through on the other side though so maybe the paper just absorbs it? I was perplexed. When I switched to a regular rollerball pen it seemed normal. All in all, I would definitely recommend buying it. I will be buying more!

Day 1 review- Smooth, flexible leather journal. High quality paper. Overall great journal at a fraction of the cost.

Good size, paper thickness is perfect, and the notebook quality and feel is great. I really like the green color, it’s inviting and makes me want to use it.

I've bought three of these notebooks in the last year and a half and I intend to keep buying them as long as they're available. The paper is high quality, the size is perfect for what I use them for, and the numbered pages are very useful. I also appreciate the included tabs in the back pocket of the journal as they help me keep things organized and easily accessible.
