LemomeThick Classic Notebook with Pen Loop - A5 Wide Ruled Hardcover Writing Notebook with Pocket + Page Dividers Gifts, Banded, Large, 180 Pages, Grey, 8.4 x 5.7 in

Nice thick paper and plenty of them. Shame you can’t get them in black anymore, as my other other volumes are all black. But still a great notebook.

I bought this during my first year in university and definitely do not regret buying it. I first bought this so that it would get me started on journalling, and it actually came into great use when the pandemic hit.The packaging was really cute. It came in a white container that says "I am a gift", which is also wrapped in a thin plastic. I liked the packaging as it created an extra barrier against anything that could damage the notebook on the transit.The paper quality was really nice - the ink from any pens does not seep through the other side of the paper. I did find that some pens, such as fountain pens and gel pens, did take longer to dry on the paper compared to normal printing A4 papers.I even painted on the paper with water colour. Although the paper did lift and such, as it is not a water colour paper, the paper did hold on really well. There were also no transfer on the other side and no rips from having water touch the paper.The notebook has a hardcover on it which makes it really sturdy and a good protector for the paper. The sturdiness does add to the weight of the notebook though, so I would not recommend this for those who are looking for a on-the-go light-weight type of notebook.Despite how thick and sturdy it is, the the spine of the notebook is actually quite flexible and did not break on me. It was actually really well made and made it easy to open the notebook full 180° which is satisfying.The elastic that holds the notebook shut is truly so good. It did not loosen overtime and held the notebook together well.I didn't find the pen holder useful, but I think that is just me. If you want to put a thick pen on the pen holder then it will take longer for the elastic to stretch out to accommodate the pen.The price of this notebook is definitely worth it. I bought it for £10.29 in November of 2019 and now it is £9.99. The quality is something that I have never seen before and something that I cannot see now either. With Christmas coming around in 90 days I would 100% recommend gifting this to people.

Paper is good quality. Nice to write on.

Fab quality.

Brilliant notepad, stylish, quality.Professional.

I really do love a good notebook and this is definitely one. It has great quality pages, thick, smooth, clear and easy to write on. It has pride of place on my desk.

I was fed up with using a scratty old, half used, torn notebooks I had scattered around the house and decided to treat myself to one good one instead. I love this one - the pages are a good thickness, I love that there’s a ribbon page marker as well as an elastic strap to keep it closed. The elastic pen holder on the spine is chunky enough to not feel like it will snap after a few uses and the storage pocket at the back could be a useful addition.I only wish there were more colours to choose from. I could only see grey and navy when I purchased whereas the Lemome billet journals come in a variety of lovely colours. However, I won’t be docking a star, it’s a great notebook.

Absolutely fantastic product... I get through writing books every few weeks and have always used ‘another’ well know make and when I stumbled on this product I was compelled - based on the feedback - to give it a try!Well I was not disappointed. This book is not only bigger (no. of pages), fantastically robust, but the pages are really high quality with no pen bleed through no matter what pen I am using (Fountain, roller ball, biro etc).I was more than a little surprised at the value of this product based on cost, but have found my new ‘go-to’ writing book!Couldn’t be happier and have already placed an order for more!
