Leuchtturm 1917 Black Slim Master (A4+) Notebook, dotted

Those Leuchtturm notebooks are great. They come in a whole range of beautiful colours, formats, line patterns ; the cover texture feels nice, the paper is of good quality with a nice slightly yellowish/cream "oldschool" colour, the pages can be opened flat with relative ease. The notebooks also come with additional features such as an index page you can fill, numbered pages with small margin on one side, place to write the date on every page, stickers for labelling the book and a pocket on the last page to store any kind of additional documents. You can buy a small elastic loop to stick on the notebook to hold a pen. All those additional features are relatively discrete however if you like your pages to be clear of anything except your writing this might not suit you. Other than that, it's always a pleasure to store and get those notebooks from the shelf and write something in them, they might cost more than the average (to be confirmed) but I do not regret my money at all.

This is the stuff. Ever so slightly larger than A4, this is now my go-to notebook for laboratory work and professional work. Leuchturrm prides itself on the little details, which is evident in this notebook. Firstly, the paper is ivory colored, since white paper is often too bright to write comfortably on. This notebook also has a contents page and page numbers, which is handy for finding specific sections - as far as I'm aware this is the only notebook with this features. There is also a large envelope attached inside the back cover, and since the book is oversized A4 you can easily fit documents in here. There are also perforated pages towards the end of the book for easy removal of notes and there are also archival stickers. It's also fairly fountain pen friendly, though some inks (Baystate blue, namely) do bleed through a bit. Most inks are fine though, including those by Diamine, J. Herbin, and Waterman.

I think these are the best notebooks on the market. The best from the point of view of quality and features.The cover is strong, the rubber band as well and the paper is fine, but strong. In terms of feature, I do appreciate the two 'markers' (fabric ribbons), the ToC and page numbers and the stickers that I use to label the many books once I 'archive' them. I do have one dislike and one caveat. Dislike: for me, a loop for a pen is missing and to add insult to injury, you can buy one for £2.50 !!! crazy! Caveat: the variety of these books is mind boggling and the way the Amazon site works, it is very easy to end up with the wrong book depending on availability of your desired combination of plain/ruled/..., colour and possibly size. In my case: I selected 'ruled' paper and went through the different colours to check prices and how the colour looks like on a larger pic. As soon as I hit a colour that is not available with ruled paper, the type of paper switches to what is available, eg plain. Suddenly, I am only looking at plain paper books... This means that you keep toggling all criteria and are also looking at the price (which can differ between colours).

I purchased this note pad a little over a week ago, delivery was supurb. My intention for this pad was for both my work and my college course, however upon receiving it, I feel as if I may have find one a little less... Nice. As I think my random scribbling will take away from its elegance, It is as if I was to take a black sharpie and write all over a Lamborghini... There is over 120 pages for you to fill with ingenius ideas, the quality of the paper is brilliant and with numbers at the bottom of the page it makes It so easy to reffer to pages, there is virtually no bleed when using ink pens. The overall construction so far has proven to very rugged and is of a very high quality. If you are looking at a few of these, make sure to get the master, as any loose pages you have fit right inside without the possibility of them being bent, creased or torn, would definantly give this 5 stars as it truly deserves it.

This is the third LT A4 I've purchased and used, I use it for my university notes and the paper quality is vastly better than the A5 notebooks, that is to say there is little to no ghosting, the weightier paper makes it suitable for heavier duty work than its A5 counterpart, (which I find unusable even for ballpoint pen or pencil use nevermind felt tip or watercolour use) the size is ideal and the paper colour is easy on the eyes and the dots are the perfect weight, spacing and size for what I use it for. These notebooks are well worth the money if you take pride in your work and appreciate having organised and easily legible work, the page numbers are endlessly useful but there are not enough spaces in the index to write every single page number, which is perhaps the only fault I can find with the books, hence the 4 stars. I use one book per semester, I study law which involves a lot of writing (with 3 modules per semester) and they fill the 123 pages perfectly. This makes for very easy referencing back on old work, particularly as the pages are indexed for ease of finding a particular set of notes.

I have tried a lot of cheaper notebooks in my time, but I just adore the Leuchtturm. The high quality paper means your pen or pencil glides comfortably, so notes are clear and handwriting stays beautiful. Mine has been dragged around and still looks as good as the day it arrived, including the two ribbon bookmarks and the back pocket. It feels as though I use it all the time, but there are still lots of pages left, as you can use both sides without worrying about ink bleeding through. Why did I ever use anything else?!

These books are great, they work so well with all sorts of ink they last and just work well. They have not compromised on quality over profit like some others have and I thank them for that. They look professional and because they are are A4+ you can place paperwork in them flat and keep it all neat. I am a big fan, I have been buying these for years and still have my first from 6 years ago. Invest, it is worth it.

This is THE notebook. Great paper quality (for use with fountain pen for example). Numbered pages. Wonderful layout. Just all around enjoyable notebook with good sturdy cover. Consistent quality product from Leuchtturm. Designed with the notebook lover in mind.

Very happy with this journal. The cover is sturdy and the covering seems to resist staining. The elastic loop to keep the journal closed could be a little more snug, but it is sewn in very securely. I enjoy that there are two ribbons for marking your place, unique in color. This makes it easy to be working at two different points in the book at the same time without having to page through. There are plenty of entries spaces in the index, for organization. The pocket for storing loose papers is plenty large and doesn't require folding full sized papers. There has been very little bleed through when using fountain pens with this paper, and no bleed through when using gel pens. All in all, this is a good journal and I will most likely repurchase again in the future.

The staff size, spacing, and ink density (light/dark) are just right for me. 14 staves per page and margins I find helpful for all sorts of notes, questions, reminders. Graphite and ink look and feel great on this paper. No bleed-through. Opens and stays flat easily. 100 gsm. Paper color is a pleasing off-white that isn't too dark. The cover is durably hard but flexes, so it does very well in my backpack or loose. Size is slightly larger than A4, which allows letter sized sheets to be held inside. This music manuscript notebook is excellent for sketching anywhere, especially while traveling or being in small places without a big setup. The portability is great. (I use loose sheets by Carta and Henle too.) This Leuchtturm is the best bound/notebook version of manuscript paper I know. It's a more expensive option, but worth it to me. I think you'll like it. I hope Leuchtturm makes many more.

I love these notebooks. I have two at the moment, one to record my ideas and designs for stained glass projects, and one for my even nerdier hobby of designing and developing old-school NES games. I have the quad ruled variety since I'm always sketching out plans, tables, graphs, etc. These open up flat which is fantastic, and the paper is thick enough that I write entirely in pen and often use water-color markers to rough out ideas in color. The hard covers are solid and the ribbon bookmarks (two) are handy. The back cover has a pocket that's useful for storing any related loose pages. These are a little pricey, but if want to keep a record of your ideas and designs I can't think of anything better. These are high-quality and will last a long time.

Ob Band, Chor, Orchester oder Kirchenmusik - wenn man mit Musik zu tun hat, wenn man in Musik kreativ ist, braucht man immer Noten aufzuschreiben. Ich habe schon lange nach einem gebundenen Notenbuch gesucht - bei Moleskine bin ich fast fündig geworden, aber eben nur fast. Moleskine hat ein kleines Notenbüchlein in A6 Format, das perfekt zum Mitnehmen ist, zum immer dabei haben. Moleskine hat auch ein A5-Hybrid mit Notensystemen und Blanko seiten - ist zwar für bestimmte Zwecke nicht verkehrt (z.B. für kleine Übungen in Harmonielehre, die dann auf der Nebenseite mit Kommentaren versehen würden, oder für Liederkompositionen (links - Musik, rechts - Texte). Aber Moleskine's Notenbuch eignet sich nicht für größere Musikstücke, die durchgehende Notensysteme erfordern. Das habe ich schon vor Jahren bedauert! Und dann bin ich bei Leuchtturm fündig geworden - ich benutzte die Notizbücher von Leuchtturm sehr gerne und kenne ihre Vorteile, umso mehr war ich froh, auch ein Notenbuch gefunden zu haben. Das Notenbuch von Leuchtturm 1917 gibt es nur in A4 Format. im Unterschied zu allen gängigen Notenblöcken verfügt eine Seite in diesem Notenbuch über 14 Notensysteme (üblich sind nur 12). Das erlaubt das Aufschreiben von längeren klein besetzten Werken oder aber von größeren Ensemble-Partituren. Ich betrachte die 14 Notensysteme als absoluten Vorteil. Standardmäßig verfügen alle Leuchtturm 1917 Bücher über einen Inhaltsverzeichnis, nummerierte Seiten, eine Falttasche im Inneren des Rückens, ein Lesezeichen und Gummischlaufe zum Halten. Das Papier ist sehr hochwertig, auf dem lässt es sich leicht radieren Den Preis finde ich absolut angemessen - für die Qualität ist ein Schnäppchen!
