Leuchtturm1917 A5 Medium Some Lines a Day 5 Year Memory Book - Black

This is a fantastic undated five-year diary (I have no idea why Amazon is calling it a book journal). The paper is thick enough to take most inks and there is a decent amount of room to write each day. I do wish the pages were lined as I have messy handwriting. I think this is a very good quality diary for a great price. In fact, there aren't many competitors at this price point. The Midori and Hobonichi five-year diaries are lovely but scarily expensive. The other five-year diaries I have seen are generally smaller and the paper isn't such good quality.

Really good quality looking and feeling notebook! Lovely lavender colour. Good paper thickness. Obviously a bit of a pricier investment, but I was really keen for a "Some lines a day" style notebook as I've just started a training job and I would love to be able to look back on it as a snapshot across the years

Have just bought a second one after first five years nearly finished. All leuchturm notebooks have beautiful paper. It’s also interesting looking back at what happened in previous years.

I have filled in this diary every day for the full five years, and I can honestly say it is so worthwhile, satisfying and beneficial for your all-round wellbeing to stick at it! It is fantastic to look back at the same day over the past few years, each time you write an entry. I fill my pages with plenty of writing (it being unlined works well for me; I can write very little some days or squeeze lots in on other days). It is sturdy and is in very good condition even after five years of daily use. I also use stickers in my book and have filled the back pocket with extra slips of paper, etc, too. I use ballpoint pens, highlighters or fine liner ink type pens in my diary which are great, but on the very odd occasion I have used fine point Sharpies (the ones designed for handwriting) which do bleed through. Really though, I love having a record of the past few years and I will be ordering the exact same book again very soon to complete over the next five years!

I wanted to let people know the pages are NOT lined. One of the 'questions' above is 'are the pages lined' and the top answer shown says 'yes' they are lined. I didn't read any further answers, to my error, as the other replies say 'no' the pages are not lined. I wanted lined. However now I have bought it I will give it a go even though there are no lines as I realise you can vary the line spacing depending how much you have to write on a particular day. It is a good solid product and I now look forward to using it.

This is a great product. I have been using it since 1st Jan this year. I use fountain pens to write, and the paper quality is excellent for that. The space provided is just perfect to write a few highlights of your thoughts for the day. I am really glad I bought this... and started using it. In my experience, Leuchttrum 1917 makes the best notebooks / journals / diaries if you’re a fountain pen user. This 5 year journal is no exception. I needed something that’s of a very high quality, especially if I plan on writing in it for the next 5 years! This book ticks every box for me!

Nice looking and well made 5 year diary with a small unruled space for each entry. Just what I wanted. Have only just started using it and it looks as though it is sturdy but time will tell.

A little bit bigger than expected but very good quality and feels very substantial. Seems like it will last the test of time.
