PaperblanksHardcover Journal Nocturnelle | Lined | Grande (210 × 300 mm)

Honestly I was skeptical about this item. Many similar books had mentions of mold, discolouration, and broken elements. Not this one. Perfectly clean, well-made, and just feels satisfying to hold and use. The embossed design isn't as flashy as I originally hoped, but honestly it's still a great colour scheme and the quality is fantastic.I haven't written anything in maybe a decade or so, that's what computers are for, right? But I'm actually enthusiastic about writing pen and paper with this in my hands. It just feels like the quality of the paper and the hardback cover give me a reason to write something out.The A4 size is quite unique for a notepad/journal like this, but it works perfectly well in this instance. If you're considering an attractive looking hardback journal/notebook, you can't get much better than this for the price. Exterior design and material feels durable yet stylish, interior paper feels high grade and optimal for writing extensively. When purchasing, I missed that it comes with basic latch locks and a built-in bookmark in the seam. Both of these also have a quality feel to them (no cheapo knock-off stuck-on kids toy trinkets here), which improves an already too notch product in my eyes.

Really lovely quality. The design is very intricate. The clasps function well. Plenty of pages.

I lovee this journal so much!! It's got a stunning cover like looks exactly like the pictures. My only mini issue is that sometimes you can see the ink through the page ever so slightly even when it's not super inky pens! Definitely one of my favourite paperblanks anyway

Except I have a gripe with Amazon. Having paid a full £30 for this magnificent journal, they only went and dropped the price. Why didn't they allow me a little credit to buy it for less? Totally. Unfair. Greedy.Except the journal cannot be faulted. Its paper is luxurious to write on, and is of very high quality, and thick!Smyth-sewn, beautifully bound: '...where groups of folded pages (referred to as signatures) are stitched together using binder thread'. - quoting Strathmoreartist.com , we are looking at a work of art!The Nocturnelle is big for a journal. But oh, how splendid. You will not be disappointed.

This was a gift for my Grandson at Christmas who hasn't even bothered to thank me. Sigh, teenagers, why do we bother? Sorry, I digress: so as a present, I was blown away with the quality. Looks more expensive than it was. Paper seems good but I cannot comment if it takes a fountain pen, as ... well, what I said at the start, it was for a present.If I wanted one for myself, I'd not hesitate to buy another.

Really lovely, and good value for money considering the quality. I will enjoy writing in this!

OK,... so. this beautiful journal is perfect. its embossed effect on the cover is just lovely, the gilded accents are very pretty too. Over all, very classy to look at.A4 in size, with 2 very pretty metal snap claps on the side. The paper is very good heavy quality, and works great with my fountain pens, no bleed through. Two silk ribbons for marking pages, well attached with no residual glue.All in all, this is a great product and just what i was hoping for. well done Paperblanks.

Price good. Lovely product.

The media could not be loaded.  I’m going to give you the ultimate review of this journal. It’s absolutely incredible, glamorous, elegant, and impressive. I will touch on what other commenters wrote as well which I found to be untrue. It came in perfect condition, sent in a soft pouch surrounded by bubble wrap in a box. Good delivery. It looks ancient, dark, masculine, divine, important, captivating, and above all bewitching.Size: some were “surprised” by the size of this journal. It says “Grande” in the title. Please look up what that means in Spanish. And then look up the word “Grand” in English. Then reference the measurements literally given in the description… ok. This journal is large. Big. Huge! Like a textbook. It’s the exact size it says it is. Nothing to be surprised about. I wasn’t.Color: some low star reviews say this journal is green. Not at all. In regular light or dim light the journal presents as black. In full light or sunlight like my video you will see undertones of darkest forest green. It honestly looks like an ancient black door that’s weathered over the centuries and certain parts of the metal have oxidized like the Statue of Liberty. It’s black, dark grey, and dark green. It has an ancient look which I adore. It has much more dimension than solid jet black, but if you’re expecting pure black then think again.Embossing: the commenters saying it’s just a flat printed image are wrong. And possibly blind. The entire front and back are raised all over the carvings. It’s subtle. You can feel it. It’s done expertly. Every single groove you see in the picture is stamped or whatever into the actual cover and back, so in no way is this flat.Gold details: the gold trim all along this book is exquisite. It shines! And when you put it in light? It sparkles with all kinds of colors. It’s very enchanting.Cover design: the design is absolutely beautiful but what you can only know by holding it in light is that this cover is sprinkled with what looks like diamond dust. Teeny tiny particles of light are all over it. They twinkle and shimmer but only in direct light. Expertly done, not gaudy like glitter. It seems the book itself is infused with magic bursting out.The clasps: mine were perfectly sturdy. The clasps are actually little magnets that latch on. Easy to open and close. They have an aged bronze look which is really nice.The Gilding: I think I would’ve liked gold edges on all the pages… but I do like shiny. Instead, they’ve gilded the pages with a print that makes the edges of the paper a dull yellow color which mimics an ancient tome’s pages that have been hidden in a sorcerer's lair for centuries. I like it.Pages: The pages are high quality and wonderful. Who writes in a journal with a sharpie? Odd. Not me. I use a pen like normal adults. And its good enough for me. Haven’t tried a fountain pen yet. Some commentor said the lines weren’t dark enough… oh brother. They’re just fine. Check your glasses perhaps? They’re perfect for anyone with proper vision.Extra: this grimoire comes with 2 silk ribbon bookmarks. One red one gold. Nice touch. It also has a beautiful hidden pocket on the back cover for storing any number of artifacts. Clever.All in all… this magnificent tome, glamorous grimoire, and sacred keeper of ineffable secrets is absolutely perfect… for me, at least.

Excelente acabamento, material e super lindo! Amei!!!

I rarely if ever leave a review, but this is the most beautiful book I've ever owned. It feels like a quality own and it was larger than expected. Really considering ordering another just to not miss out on opening another of these beauties.

Très beau

Estoy convencido que merece la pena pagar su precio
