Great Journal
The notebook is great. I use it for a hybrid bullet journal / planner for work. The paper is of great quality. The dotted grid is great to write, graph or draw. I love the numbered pages!

Great Notebook
This notebook is surprisingly nice. I use it as an engineering notebook at work. The paper is very high quality with very little bleeding or feathering, even with fountain pen inks. The dot grid is great for taking notes or sketching. The pocket on the inside of the cover is also nice for storing business cards or other papers. The pen-holder loops on the front cover ar...

Journal
I wasn`t a big fan of this , I think it would be a great item for business or college level schooling. Now don`t get me wrong the journal in its self was very durable, very well put together and paper that was used inside of it was very good quality but I didn`t not see this for just any type of journal def would steer toward business and college students.

Simple journal with quality touches
This journal has some nice, unexpected additions for a store brand. There is a pocket inside the front cover, which is convenient; however it is made out of yardstick or the like. I would have preferred for a plastic pocket, as it will be used so frequently and the paper will wear out. The pages are easy to create with and use in a variety of fashions. There are no line...

A professional, practical notebook.
I was surprised by how professional and practical this journal is inside and out. I`m used to the usual simple college or wide ruled composition notebooks with cardboard covers, or journals with decorated pages and pretty cardboard, faux leather or plastic covers--the ones you can buy at most grocery stores.The TRU RED journal is built sturdy; the cover is thick and lo...

New way to Journal!
This journal provides a lot of freedom when it comes to the way you take notes. The dots along the pages act as guides for writing, creating diagrams, visuals, and much more. The only limitations here is your imagination and if you aren`t super creative, a template with existing diagrams are given to help you get started. Documenting progress, and visuals have never bee...

Journal
Pretty standard. Has light dots for guidance but can be used like a clean sheet. Not very heavy so it would be easy to travel with. Love that it has a rubber band to close it while not in use

This journal makes me feel like an adult
My favorite feature of this product is the elastic pen loop! I never have to spend time looking for a pen because it`s right there waiting for me. The page markers and the inner pocket are a nice touch too. The journal itself is beautiful with high grade heavyweight paper. It should be noted that instead of lines, as I`m used to, there are dots. Not a big deal but ...

TRU RED Intermediary Guidance Journal
This is a quality book for note-taking. The outside cover is soft and contains bands to hold a pen so you don`t have to go searching for one when needed. Inside, the pages are an ample amount and the paper used has a quality feel to it. The inside jacket cover even has a folder section to place loose pages in or other needed materials. The ribbon bookmark is made of goo...

TRU RED Journal Review
Using the journal is fantastic. I found the note taking guide at the beginning of the journal so helpful and have included some blueprints and formats in the guide provided for my own personal and professional note taking. The journal has no official lines and opts for guided dots instead, which allows for more creativitity and flexibility in taking notes or jotting tho...

A Stylish Notebook, with Great Functionality
I have used the TRU RED Inspirational Notebook for several days with the TRU RED Rollerball pens, and they make a great pair. I did not think there was much room for improvement on the notebook, but this product proves otherwise, large multipurpose pages for just about anything you can think of, well thought out features such as a pen holder on the front, an elastic ban...

Cool Journal
When I opened the Journal, i really like the printed dot/graph like page design. It felt innovative and new which you dont see much of in Journal design beyond the covers. It really is perfect for writing copy and also drawing pictures or diagrams. Lined paper can be hard to sketch on and graph paper can be okay if light enough print but otherwise can look busy. I reall...
