STATIONERY ISLAND Bullet Dotted Journal A5, Hardcover Dotted Notebook, Thick 120gsm Paper 180 Pages Journal Notebook

Perfect notebook, and exactly what I wanted. The squared paper is great for a mix of content such as sketching/bullet journaling, lists, custom diary etc. The paper is of really good quality and works well with many mediums - I imagine alcohol markers would bleed through the paper but they do with most pages, and you could still use them if you put something behind the page to protect the next page. Theres a great range colours so I was spoilt for choice, but love the berry colour that I opted for, makes the notebook look really classy and expensive. It’s a great size and sturdy for taking it on the go, and looks expensive without the big price tag! I will definitely be buying again.

Lovely quality paper, makes for smooth writing, ideal for journaling, pocket at back is great, lovely smooth material. Highly recommend.

Bleed through I love everything about this journal but if you are using this for art, I warn you that alcohol markers do bleed through the page. I’ve tested highlighter, pen, pencil, gel pen and fine liner and all of these were fine for me. If you are using highlighter in this book then I recommend you use Zebra Mildliners if you have them as they sit perfectly on the paper with little to no bleed through. Appearance The colour in the images attached to this review is slightly lighter in real life and is accurate to the picture listed and description. The tassels are also correct in colour but did come slightly creased.. The entire journal came intact however and so far it has not broken. Another thing to note is that the pages are not a bright white and more of a pale yellow and if that is not what you are looking for I suggest you don’t buy this one in particular. The last journal that I bought was of a similar material and the spine did crease slightly overtime. But if that doesn’t bother you then I would definitely recommend this journal. Material The material of this book is very smooth and not very textured which I find very pleasing and the paper is decently thick. The journal is not too heavy, or too light and the whole thing feels very sturdy. The elastic strap is flexible and doesn’t feel like it will break overtime. Conclusion This is an incredible book for journaling and note taking etc and would definitely recommend it. I’m very happy with my purchase and would say it’s definitely worth the money and will probably buy it again in future.

I’ve been using the STATIONERY ISLAND A5 Unlined Notebook as a journal, and I absolutely love it. The hardcover is sturdy, and the colour is gorgeous—it really stands out. The 120gsm paper feels premium and thick, making it perfect for writing, planning, and journaling. It’s a joy to use with pens, pencils, and even markers. However, a quick note: the paper isn’t ideal for wet mediums like watercolour or ink washes. It can handle a bit of ink, but if you’re using very wet materials, you might notice some bleeding or buckling. So, stick to dry mediums for the best results. Overall, it’s a great notebook for anyone who loves to write or journal, just avoid the wet art supplies and you’ll be set. Highly recommend for dry use!

Excellent notebook with good quality thick pages without any ink bleed through, shaddowing or smudging! Even while using a fountain pen, gel pen or ballpoint! It also has two book mark ribbons and a robust gusseted pocket on the back cover! Very versatile and can easily be adapted for use as an everyday notebook, journal or a landing place for all those thoughts, ideas and future research that you need to move on to your project planners etc! In fact it's so good, that I bought a leather cover to hold it as my daily carry! All of the above for less than £8!

This A5 notebook is a fantastic option for anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality journal. The 120gsm paper is noticeably thick and smooth, making writing with gel pens, fineliners, and even some fountain pens a pleasure. Bleed-through and ghosting are minimal, which is a big plus for those who like to write on both sides of the page. The hardcover is sturdy and sleek, giving it a professional look while still being durable enough to carry around in a bag without getting damaged. It includes two ribbon bookmarks and an elastic closure, both of which add to its practicality for everyday use, whether for work, school, or personal journaling. With 180 lined pages, there’s plenty of room for note-taking, planning, or reflective writing. The binding lays fairly flat, which makes it easier to write all the way to the edges without the usual fight with the spine. Pros: • Premium 120gsm paper – thick, smooth, and mostly bleed-resistant • Strong hardcover and quality binding • Twin bookmarks and elastic band for easy organization • Clean, minimal design suitable for professional or personal use Cons: • No page numbers (easy to add yourself, but worth noting) • Slight ghosting with very wet inks or markers • PU cover can smudge with fingerprints, but wipes clean easily Final Thoughts: This notebook punches well above its price. It’s a solid choice for students, professionals, and journal lovers alike. The paper quality, thoughtful features, and clean design make it ideal for everyday writing, planning, and creative thinking. A great all-rounder

Très belle couverture resistante. Et papier impeccable. Je l'utilise pour bullet journal

Dicke blätter, nichts drückt durch. Alles was man von einem Journal Buch erwartet!

Buena calidad, parece un producto más caro de lo que es. Papel de gramaje grueso y acabados de buena calidad. Volvería a comprarlo si necesitara otra agenda de estas características

It's a good notebook for the price. The paper is pretty good, even thicker than the Leuchtturm1017, but a little lighter (not as yellowish). I have just used it for a cople of days but seems solid.
