Top notebook choice
Well-made, break the spine in correctly before use. Paper is only slightly thicker than Moleskein. The 8x10 is perfect for for office and school use. The 6x8 is great for personal. I've bought 6, the only notebook I like to use since 2018. 10/10 recommend.

Poor Binding
I purchased this notebook first week of January to use as a bullet journal. I’m only 17 pages in and the pages are already coming loose at the bottom. I’m not sure it’s going to make it through the year. Super disappointed because the paper is really good.

Dotted journal
The large, flexible dotted journal is a hit with my wife. She likes the format, as it allows her to get creative with her journal entries.

Good but flimsy
I’m an artist, and this is the first dotted journal I’ve ever used. I’d heard good things about them and wanted to try one out. It’s been very good for keeping my handwriting neat and uniform, better than a lined notebook even. It’s also good for trying to draw with different fonts and sizes. However, the pages are very thin and if you’re not careful you’ll tear through...

Beautiful notebook
The 'leather' dotted journal is great! I love the quality of the binding and the weight of the pages. Great for fountain pens with no bleed through. The ribbons are great for marking your place and the elastic for keeping the journal closed. Would purchase again.

Looks Good, Performs Eh
Pros: The size and cover are excellent. I like the cream color of the paper though it's hard to find "white"out that color.
Cons: The paper is thin so there is a lot of ghosting. The biggest con is that the pages pull out too easily -- they are not sewn tightly or something.

TRU RED™ Large Flexible Cover Dotted Journal, Black (TR54776)
This is the 4th Tru Red large flexible dotted journal that I have used. The quality is good, and I like the cream colored paper, which is milder on the eye than white. The dots are light color and don't interfere with the flow of work. I used mine as my daily Bullet Journal and project planner.

Paper too thin.
Pros:
Size, look, dots
Cons:
And this is a big one for me, the paper is too thin which causes all of my fountain pens, regardless of the ink used, to bleed through to the other side so that only one side of the paper can be used cutting the amount of usable pages in half. I purchased this specifically to be used with fountain pens. :(

Good journals
I've bounced around on different journals over the years. Never once thought I would find a good quality journal at a good price by just walking into staples.

Quality Journal
You don't have the burden of lines, yet the subtle dotted pages helps alignment and spacing of information recorded.

Don’t leave home without it.
This is my 3 rd purchase of this item. I create a quality planner that I can use as a calendar, planner, journal and scrap book. The quality is better than all other journals I’ve looked at, and that is way into double digits, and I won’t use anything else.

Love it!
This journal is exactly what I was looking for. It is bigger than your standard journal which allows for more space to write, draw, take notes, etc. I haven’t one like this besides at staples, so I was super excited when finding it. The pages don’t bleed through that much at all. It bleeds through worse on a moleskin in my opinion (my last journal). I definitely recomme...
