This notebook is very good quality. The cover and paper feel high quality and good to touch. The color of the cover is beautiful, though perhaps a bit darker than in the picture. The paper is not a bright white, which I really appreciate. It has a soft color to it, almost an extremely light sepia or yellow tone. There is space for the date and the pages are paginated so you can use it for bullet journaling very easily. The paper weight is good, unlikely to bleed through, and there is a little pouch in the back with tabs you can place if you like. It also has two thin ribbons for keeping your spot and an elastic band to keep it shut. The elastic does make a bit of a dent on the raised edges of the soft cover, but it's nothing significant. Also, it stays open without holding it in place. Really nice!The only issue I have is really not a problem with the product but with my own expectations. From the photos, I imagined this journal would be a big, fat, maybe novel width journal. I had this in my cart for a while and imagined how indulgent it would be to have an enormous journal to write in. In actual fact, it is about 0.75 inches and quite normal looking for a journal. It has 298 paginated pages and a few extras at the front to build a table of contents. But it is not the giant monster journal of my dreams. Still, I would highly recommend it without hesitation to anyone who expects a regular width journal. In fact, it might be better than what I had hoped for because you could reasonably take this with you places since it is not that weighty.
