Dusky Meadow Journal - Lined Diary Notebook for Writing, Sketching & Note Taking | Perfect for Travel, School & Personal Reflection

I have had this for years and I like adding notes in the back pocket of the book.I would buy this a million times over. The paper takes pen like a right champ, the cover is aesthetically pleasing, and the quality of the paper is very durable. I would recommend it for self use or for gifting; it is comfortable for carrying around and comes with a little back pocket and a binding strap. Somehow, the journal manages to makes even my messiest of writing look pretty!This journal is beautiful. The pictures I submitted doesn’t show the true beauty of the book. It is a bit small, but it is exactly what I was looking for.I'm a journal junkie and am pretty particular about the ones I buy. I go back to this one because they're beautiful quality and I can't go wrong. They make great gifts. The cover has a little sparkly glint to it and the art is lovely. I like the compact size and the band that holds it together so no loose papers can fly free. I find Peter Pauper journals to be very sound products.This Journal was exactly what I hoped it would be and that was because it matched everything in the description. It's not college ruled, one thing that should be in the description (something that I should take half a star off for), but I'll only use the lines as reference points, so I don't mind it as much.The most important thing to me is paper quality. I use all kinds of different mediums, but I prefer paper that will take my pens without bleeding. The paper has some grit, enough to take pencils easily, but so little it shouldn't get in the way ink. In a quick test, it took my fountain pen beautifully, which made me happier than I've been in a while. I've been displeased with moleskine for not living up to it's reputation. I've found a better notebook now, cheaper too. I wish the paper were plain, but the lines are so faint I care little.I ordered this to be my next diary, because I mind lines in my notebook. It was kind of a test to see if it could compete with moleskeine. I'd say that the lines are faint enough to use this as my notebook, with all the sketching and unruled note-taking I do, I just need one of their bigger styles (which I also order one for as a gift for my partner, and has lines just as faint).The binding looks like it'll hold up for quite the while. The signatures themselves are sewn, but it appears they're glued together. A step up from most books, which are glued together, signatures unfound.There are some customer's pictures here make the notebook appear it has a red tone. The one I received is just as it looks in the description.Everything considered, I am beyond pleased with the price and the quality, near disbelief actually.Beautiful journal, but the lines are so light I lose track of where I'm writing. Otherwise I'd give it 5 stars.Love this notebook. I use it for daily journaling, and it lasts me about 5 months (started this one March 1st and only have a few pages left now, writing usually one page per day). This is my third and it lasts nicely if you take care of it (yellow one was my first and I stretched out the strap by yanking it open). Don’t know if you can tell but there are some shiny foil accents in the flowers and butterlfies, very cute.This is such a beautiful notebook for the price. The photos online don't do it justice at all. I just paid 25$ for a notebook and I like this one better, I wish I found it first.Loved this journal. Beautiful cover design, well-made notebook with good quality paper inside. Arrived in protective packaging which is nice if you wanted it as a gift. Using mine myself, this is already the second one I have re-ordered and I will be back for more. Excellent product and excellent value for money.Pretty notebook, a present we'll receivedThis journal was even prettier than it looked on the website. It's perfect for me and I'll definitely be getting more of the same. Because PP use decent quality paper l can write with my fountain pen. In most other journals the ink from fountain pens bleeds through the paper.This is a really nice notepad. I like the quality of the paper and the cover design. It seems to be well bound and serves perfectly as a receptacle for my thoughts and memories.Please give this review a like if you find it helpful, thank you for reading.I bought this to be posted with my friend's Birthday Card and she was delighted with it. She says it goes in her bag nicely and is great for jotting things down quickly but looks really pretty. The elastic band keeps the good quality pages tidy too. So all in all a successful little buy for a kind friend who has really appreciated it.
