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!

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.

Very nicely made. Heavy paper. Buy it.

this is my favorite lined notebook. the pages are thick and do not bleed with felt tip pens. You do need to be careful with sharpies though if you want to write on both sides of a page.
