Kitabby - Legacy Clasp - A5 Size - Hard Bound Notebook with an Elastic Band and Hook Locking Mechanism - Padded PU Soft Leather Cover Material - (Maroon) [Office Product]

First the visual appeal: The notebook looks very professional. With a soft almost leather like brown finish, just the kind of notebook I would want to pop out of the bag at a client meeting or a board meetingNext the quality: The paper is thick and does not look like it will allow ink to feather under fountain pen ink. The notch and string holding the notebook together is different - most notebooks have a vertical band. How it holds up over a longer time period is yet to be tested. The cover appears to be soft PUOverall: The best value for the money for this level of quality

Wow !!!!!I have never seen such a nice diary. The paper quality is superb. The luxurious feel and touch while holding gives a great look. I would definitely recommend this for daily use. Easy to carry and easy to handle.

Very attractive

Thoughts: This diary is a good fit for anyone looking for quality paper and a minimalist design. However, be mindful of the size of this diary and the type of pens you use, as not all may be suitable.The length between each line is 0.7mmPros:Quality Paper: The paper quality is more than average, especially for gel pens and fine nib fountain pens.(don't know about medium and broad nibs).(cannot write with markers as it may bleed through the back side of paper)Minimalist Design: Its simple design is perfect for those who prefer a no-frills approach.Functional Features: Comes with a magnetic lock and pen holder, which are very convenient.(inner pocket was not there)Ruled pages line length: the length between each line is 0.7mm. (I expected 0.75mm or 0.8mm)Cons:Unexpected Size: The diary was smaller than I had anticipated.(It is perfect A5 size but I wanted a bit bigger)Missing Back Pocket: There was no back pocket as described, which was disappointing.(deducting 1 star for this)Ink Limitations: Some fine tip gel and rollerball pens can leak through the pages.
