Feel free to suggest more in the comments.

Also fits my X4 perfectly!

I paid $50 for a large half shoulder of 4 - 5 oz leather (enough to make 3 x A6 and 1 x A5 trifold.

$90 for dye, conditioner, wax, soap and thread (still waiting for thread), still have some stitching to do.

It's chunky, perfectly rigid and I'm really happy with it.

With fabric covers bound to book cloth. Pamphlet stitch with colored waxed thread. Also a fun decorative hand-marbled sheet inside.

Hey all,

I’ve been eyeing the Lochby Field Journal for a bit now. I like its functionality quite a bit having the ability to fit up to 4 A5 notebooks at once. This is something I’m using for businesses use - so while I don’t hate the Lochby look, it definitely has more of an outdoorsy aesthetic.

Are their any recommended brands out there that will function the same, but have a sleeker, more professional look?

Thanks!

I truly love the idea of journaling and how it allows me to think ideas or problems through. I tend to see things much more clearly when I write about them. The problem is that I will lose interest in journaling and abandon the notebook I was using. When I get interested again I start a new notebook so I have several partially used journals. Any suggestions on what I can do with them or how to restart them.

So far. Hehe. Made with genuine Moonstones and Jade stones.

I got a bookaroo branded notebook as a gift from my son. It's A5 tall but a little bit narrower. It's also fewer pages than most A5 notebooks with a hardcover. It's not great paper, only really usable with ballpoint pens like bic or jetstreams. Signo and gel pens don't really work with the paper.

The A5 size generally suits my needs but how I carry it in my work bag means full A5 width is a bit too big. I can fit the bookaroo notebook with my pen pouch in the laptop caddy I have. The pen pouch is actually a zip pouch from outdoors brand Alpkit. The laptop caddy came with my overboard drybag rucksack. I've stopped using the rucksack but still use the caddy with my ortlieb bike pannier for my short cycle commute from station to work site.

It's small things that make a bigger difference IRL I find and this 1.3cm narrower width works better for me. It's actually 0.5cm taller but I'm less bothered by height being bigger.

I know standard traveller's notebook inserts are about A5 height but narrower. However it's even more narrow, too narrow for me. Also I've never seen a hardcover, standard TN insert notebook. I'd like a hardcover notebook A5 tall by a little narrower. Ideally with good paper. Lined, dotted or gridded (fancy getting gridded most for a change but lined or dotted is perhaps more likely to be available). Would also like a page marker and elastic closure band.

Anyone with a recommendation from a UK source?

I decided to make a vintage-style notebook. I decorated it with pyrography. I think it turned out well. What do you think?

I love A&O but their notebooks are too condensed to do the type of journaling I do (pasting in pages and sometimes "junk"). Has anyone used the new album style? They are tempting me!

So in my enthusiasm I ordered a beautiful yellow papered notebook. Without releasing that my yellow highlighter probably won't work lol! Should've thought of that. What colour highlighter would work best on this paper? I always have a pink highlighter for certain events and notes. But I also want a 'standard' highlighting colour to draw attention to some phrases and make them clearly standout

This is my September in 66 seconds! I felt like the actual month went by just as fast.

Hello, i’ve bought a few Zebra Sarasa Dry pens (chronic lefty smudger) and want to start journaling. Kind of confused by all the advice on what notebook’s paper would be a good pairing for this pen?

I like the look of the Rhodia Webbie but seeing mixed messages on whether that kind of paper will mess up the quick drying aspect of the pens? I want something lined, A5 sized. The Midori MD looks cool but i’d rather buy a notebook that has a cover already.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

This was originally from Dollarama.

For the love of God can someone please tell me what brand this is? I thought it was Moleskin but it’s not.

Mine has…
-Better paper quality (thicker to the touch, doesn’t bleed through)
-Side pen holder
-TWO bookmark lanyards vs one
-Size is 5.5x10.5

I will be forever grateful 📓

I just started journaling at the beginning of these year. At first I was doing really well. It’s formed and changed over the past few months and I’ve slacked off some.

Anyway, I am currently using the Wonderland222 All-in-one A5 which I really enjoy. However, last night I discovered the Aura Estelle Magnet which has the daily/blank pages after each week, one for each day. Just wondering if anyone has used these systems. Which one you prefer and why?

hey! I've just purchased the le portfolio A6 in olive green and I was wondering if it would fit a muji A6 undated planner with a couple of TN passport inserts? (my best friend wanted to try the tn system and i gave her my TN passport since I found im not fond of the size after almost 4 months of daily use and I would rather have A6 notebooks since they're also cheaper where im from).

I'm assuming it will, but i want pics and second opinions if possible :)

I don't mind the chance of overhang since there's already happening a little bit in my passport because of keeping pens and ephemera on the notebook itself
