Good looking journal!
I have used Moleskine for years. However decided to try this Tru-Red Large Explore Journal. Happy to say that it met expectations. It is a sturdy feeling notebook with professional features. The notebook came nicely wrapped in case the journal is meant to be gifted.

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.

Nice notebook
I love the extra pockets and the index page. I love that the pages are numbered. Only thing I did not like is that the dots are very light. They are hard to see. My son loves it because he can use it to practice drawing as for me using this notebook for writing is a bit difficult so I will probably end up using it for illustration as well.

I really love this notebook.
It's everything I was looking for in some of the bigger name journals that seemed to always have almost everything I wanted and be more expensive.

Nice and sturdy
I bought this journal on a whim from a sub Reddit recommendation. Now it's easily one of my favorite journals to write on anything from: quick personal entries recipes contact info numbers etc. I love it! Especially the inline-pockets and the two red bookmarks. Highly recommended!

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...

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!

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.

TRU RED "Intermediary Guidance" Journal
I am very pleased with this product. The "feel" and look of the journal speaks quality. After inspecting the journal the cover pages and spine of the journal appears to be made of sturdy material. The elastic bookmark and satin ribbon are my favorite features. I do not have to worry about paper bookmarks falling out or losing my place in the journal. I am able to j...

Tru Red - True Read!
What a great set up for my journaling! The Tru Red Intermediary Guidance Journal is very sturdy. I have a habit of bending my journal in half to write. Before I know it with other journal the binding is falling apart & I have to break out the tape. It doesn`t look too pretty (or professional) when that happens. I really like the dotted ruling format since I have a tend...

Explore Journal review
The first impression of the red box is great. It seems well designed . I like and find motivating the word EXPLORE journal. It seems inviting to workI find confusing the Tru Red I am not sure if that is the brand or if it is the name of this particular journal or I am not sure what exactly it isThe journal is of great quality and look.The look feel and the red place h...

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...

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

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...

Tru Red Journal
Hello I received this product and am less than pleased. Pros- Hard book cover so this will stand up to time. There is a place to write your name so people will know who it belongs to. There are no dates anywhere so this is a nice feature if you are not a person who journals daily. This feature will allow you to create your own date based on your entry. This I li...

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 ...
