Good, Sturdy Book
I really liked the extra features of this book, specifically the outside pocket in front and the pocket inside the back cover. The pages are a good size and the markings (dots) to keep your writing straight are acceptable, although I personally prefer lines. The size is good, too, as it is not too big and not too small. I`m not sure if it comes in any other color othe...

Explore Journal
It is the first time i have used a journal without lines. It uses a dotted ruling format. To be honest i am not wild about the format. I have a hard time keeping the lines straight.I would not buy this type of journal. I prefer the journal with lines.

Too much packaging ruins good product
Very nice journal with good contemporary features, arrived in a custom light cardboard envelope box, which was fine, except it was also shrink-wrapped. Will not purchase again.

Super slick bullet journal
This is a lot different from other bullet journals; it`s larger, more slick, and the pages are automatically divided which helps a lot with organization.

TRU RED ``Intermediary Guidance`` Square Journal`
The journal is of quality construction and offers versatility with the pages laid out with dots versus lines. I like the rib on included as part of the journal. There`s quite a number of pages in a small book. I like the pocket feature. The cover is bowed/warped. Not happy about that. Different than any past journals with the dot construction.

`TRU RED` Journal Review
I use this journal as a work notebook and really enjoy it. The cover gives it the appearance of a high end journal, which will work well in a professional setting. You can slip small handouts in the front and inside back pockets, which is convenient, and I love the ability to label it for future reference. The most convenient aspect of the journal, for me, are the ma...

New Student Note-Taker
I recently started a new class learning SQL coding. I haven`t been to school for over 20 years, so note-taking isn`t something I`m used to anymore. And taking notes on my computer can be tedious to navigate with the complexity of the notes I like to take. After getting hold of my `TRU RED ``Intermediary Guidance`` Square Journal`, I was easily transitioned into taking c...

Awesome Journal
This journal is great for personal reflection or everyday needs. I really like the quality of the binding and the outer casing. The black leather gives it a sophisticated look. I like the journal because it isn`t full size but isn`t small. It`s just big enough to carry in a purse or small bag. If you are looking for a daily journal or just something for regular notes th...

Quality journal
This journal is excellent. The leather cover is very nice soft and high quality. There is a pocket in the front which is really nice. The journal itself has various options for usage for note taking, sketching, gridblocking, lists, mind map, outlines, storyboard. It suggests you label the journal and has a sleeve in inside back cover as well to put notes or cards.

Great business essential
Overall it's a great business essential, I like the design and there are several places I can store individual papers and notes. The cover is sturdy and the papers are high quality. However, there are some cons as well. It had a double packaging, it came with a hard paper cover and a plastic wrapping around it. The plastic and the hard paper cover go to the trash immedi...
