Huhuhero Lined Journal Notebooks for Work, Hardcover Leather Journals for Writing Women Men, 120Gsm Thick Paper College Ruled Notebook, Office School Supplies, 5.25"×8.25" (1, Matte Black)

Years ago I bought a leather notebook cover thinking it was for an A5 (around 8.25 in x 5.75 in) notebook. It was however for thinner 5 inch notebooks. Luckily I had a Moleskine that at 5 inches wide fit perfectly.Recently I began looking for a replacement for the Moleskine because it’s coming to the end of its life and because I noticed deteriorating condition of the paper in the new notebooks.Initial impressions- This Huhuhero journal seems to be a good replacement. The cushioned cardboard cover is sturdy, the paper seems to be sewn in tightly. There is a ribbon bookmark, and elastic band to keep the book closed, and an expandable pocket in the back.As far as the paper. It’s thicker than my Moleskine from years ago and a quick test shows that it seems to resists ink absorption into and through the paper. There is minimal ghosting and no bleed through even with wet fountain pen ink. If I didn’t know better I’d say that the paper was coated like much more expensive notebooks because it seemed to take a little longer to dry. I was surprised that my left (writing) hand actually smeared the ink. This is not usually a problem with cheap paper because the ink absorbs so quickly.In comparison- I have a more recent Moleskine which has paper that allows severe bleed through.Lastly- there are fewer pages in the Huhuhero compared to Moleskine and the guidelines are a little darker.Hopefully this book will stand the test of time especially since it will be protected by a leather cover. Seems to be a good deal considering the price.

Absolutely love my Huhuhero Lined Journal Notebook! The quality is exceptional, with sturdy binding and smooth, high-quality paper that's perfect for writing. The lined pages make it easy to keep my thoughts organized, and the sleek design gives it a professional and stylish look. Whether it's for journaling, planning, or just jotting down ideas, this notebook has become an indispensable part of my daily routine. Definitely a must-have for anyone looking for a reliable and stylish journal!

I have used Moleskines for years with my journaling and the like, but these might be my new go-to. The paper is SO THICK, I love it, (Moleskine is 70gsm- these are 120!) and they've seemed to hold up nicely so far. I have purchased every color already, that's how much I dig these notebooks. I do wish they had more pages, though, one of these has about half (? I don't know the exact page count of each) the amount of a Moleskine. But still, they are awesome, great for journaling or whatever it is you do! Will buy again! :)

This journal is an amazing dupe for Moleskin. I've now bought 3 of them, and couldn't be happier. While there are some subtle differences in appearance, the quality is really impressive, especially given the price point. The binding is a little uneven, but not enough for me to deduct a star. Among my best purchases ever from Amazon in nearly 20 years as a customer!*The light pinkish/lavender journal is a genuine Moleskin, while the blue one is from Huhuhero.*Edit: Ended up deducting a star. After a few days of use, it's become apparent that the quality of the newer journals is not the same as the one I bought a few years ago. It's still a very good product at a great price point that look nearly identical to Moleskin, but the quality has changed. By no means a deal breaker, but enough of an issue to warrant an edit to my original review.

Higher quality notebook and I love it. Nice weight, texture, color, feeling, page density and secure closure. The outside leather is soft but durable, easy to read pages that don’t bleed.

I order these all the time for work and they never disappoint

I recently started learning how to play the piano, and I needed something that was small enough to fit comfortably on my music desk, but was still large enough to write things in to reference while I was playing or learning new things. I also really needed a notebook with some reasonably thick pages. A big issue I ran into with the notebooks I had laying around the house is they were just too big, or the pages were way too thin, often resulting in my ink bleeding through the pages and creating a gigantic mess, and lots of unusable bits of paper.The Huhuhero sports 120GSM thickness, which is quite thick and the pages have a very nice, sturdy feel to them. The thickness means you can write on the pages without having to worry about your ink bleeding through and ruining the pages behind it, or making the backside of the page completely unusable.The Huehuhero covers all the bases in that regard, and for the price, I don't think it can be beat. When I need more, I intend on buying the 5 pack. All around I am very satisfied with this notebook. I suppose my one and only minor complaint is that it is a little bit difficult to remove pages should you so desire. The pages aren't really meant to be removed from the binding. It is possible to do this, albeit a little bit difficult. It's not very often that I have felt the need to remove pages, so it's not that big of a deal to me and it doesn't make me think this notebook isn't a good one. Despite this minor flaw it still does everything I need it to do, which is all I want out of a notebook.

Nicely made and just as described. I really like the back pocket.
