I love this journal! I started using it in September 2018 and I'm just reaching my last pages in May 2020. It's help up incredibly well. The binding is completely intact and it's the perfect size for carrying in a bag so I can always have it with me. The pages have a little transparency, but for the price and how well it's help up I can't complain at all. I'm looking to buy another one right now and would recommend this to anyone looking for a budget journal.

I received this book and I must admit i was skeptical about the paper being able to handle a bit of watercolor. This notebook is not intended for watercolor use this was just something I wanted to try. I have to say it performed beautifully not only am i heavy handed with my use of water during watercolor paintings but I also use a heat tool in between layers. Like I said the paper behaved beautiful and beyond my expectation.
Expect pages to warp of course once paper gets wet it does change shape, laying the book closed and flat, perhaps even using a heavy flat object on top will help flatten and smooth pages back a bit. There wasn't any bleed though or ghosting. I used student grade watercolors which are quite pigmented.
This little journal would be great for any kind of journaling, bullet, art, junk. It has a beautiful cover and an even dot grid. I totally recommend it!
