What reviewers liked
180 degree, lay flat spine makes easy to write to end of the line without breaking the spine. Pen loop and expandable pocket included.
The faux leather exterior guards the front and back cover of the notebook, but not the thread-stitched binding. Lefties will enjoy this unique feature because it adds protection without reducing the flexibility of the notebook. That means the front cover won't rise up against your hand while trying to write.
An elastic band ensures a secure closure, but when it’s open, the lay-flat binding serves you well. Each book is equipped with 90 sheets for 180 pages of drawing, note-taking, journaling, planning and more. Users note that the paper is quite thick and resists any ink bleed-through or ghosting.
The Lemome A5 Wide Ruled Hardcover journal is a classic, thick notebook with a pen loop, a pocket, page dividers, and a band to keep it closed. The thicker paper is resistant to bleeding, rough erasing, and shading. The expandable pocket can hold business cards, notes, receipts, and small papers.
What reviewers didn't like
While the paper is of good quality, wet fountain pens will still leak through.
The 125-gsm paper is admittedly coarse and it's hard to write fast on it, which can be frustrating at times. Some people have had issues with the binding coming undone.
There does seem to be issues with the binding failing and pages falling out.
