RETTACYDotted A4 Notebook Journal -192 Pages Note Book for Bullet, Hardcover Leather Notepad with Pen Loop for Women Men Work Office School (21.5 x 27.9cm)-Brown

Definitely a premium feeling notebook for those of us that still like to physically write stuff down.The outer cover has a nice smooth texture that feels like it'll protect the notebook from a bit of abuse in a backpack or briefcase. It features an elastic strap to hold the cover closed. There is also a loop for a pen which is always nice to find. It worked just fine to hold a pen, but I found it was too large for a standard pencil which just fell out - slightly annoying.Opening the notebook reveals a heavier first and last page protecting the inner pages. Additionally there are two bookmarks; one blue one gray, a nice touch.The actual pages themselves have a slightly creamy off-white colour which is nice and soothing. Bright enough to make writing clear without much glare. The dotted markings are great, easy enough to use as either lines for writing or a grid for drawing. In the back of the notebook is a pouch which contained two sets of stencils. Not sure why there are two sets as each one is identical. With various patterns for frames, flourishes, logos, lines, and digits, but oddly no lettering. A nice touch.Overall a very nice A4 notebook.

This is a review of "RETTACY Dotted A4 Notebook Journal -192 Pages Note Book for Bullet, Hardcover Leather Notepad with Pen Loop for Women Men Work Office School (21.5 x 27.9cm)-Cyan"I guess I must be 'old school' as there are times when I still like to have proper pen and paper to take notes, as opposed to using a notes app on my phone.There are worse things to write on than this A4 notebook. Very nice quality - from the cover right through to the inside. Well-constructed to the extent that I would expect it to wear well in normal use and last a long long time after its pages have been filled.There are a couple of bookmarks built-in, plus a pen-holder. Nice thick paper too.I can't honestly say that it's expensive (at £9.99 at the time of this review) as it is so nice in appearance however if you are more into functionality than the aesthetics, there are going to be cheaper option sout there.- - - - - - - - - -Note: As a member of the Vine program I was supplied with this item free of charge.

This is a very basic hardcover notebook, handy for bullet journaling although you're going to need to number pages and make an index by yourself. It has a layflat binding and decent quality paper - it behaves well with fountain pen inks and very basic highlighters and markers, but I would not risk it with any sort of wet media.

This A4 size hardback notebook has 192 pages of good quality 100 gsm paper which doesn't allow the ink to bleed through to the other side, so you can use both sides of the sheet. It is string bound and the pages have small grey dots in a grid pattern spaced at about 1cm apart. The hardback cover has a slightly marbled blue matt finish which doesn't attract greasy fingerprints and there is an elastic band attached to the back cover for holding the book closed when not in use. There is a pocket in the back cover which contains 4 plastic stencils which you can use to draw a selection of various motifs and a couple of ribbons (one blue, one grey) serve as bookmarks. At £14.99 the price seems thereabouts for a well bound, good quality A4 notebook containing 192 pages.

Really cool notebook.Nice big A4 pages and loads of them.I use these dot notepads to play roll and write dungeon crawling games so get through them at a decent pace.Lovely quality paper and good binding. Fab cover colour too.

Good hard covers (not leather but PU "leather") - they have a slight bit of give to them but are protective enough. It has the usual sort of features - closure strap, two bookmark ribbons, pen loop, document wallet in the inside back cover, which also has a couple of stencils with emoji type icons. The paper, with bullet marks for bullet journalling, is decent quality. The pages are not numbered.

This notebook ditches the lines, opting for a subtle dotted pattern that provides gentle guidance without restricting artistic freedom. It's ideal for my son's GCSE Project Design class, allowing him to sketch, brainstorm, and create freely.The notebook seems well-made, with thick 100gsm paper that prevents ink bleed-through. No more ruined artwork on the next page! It comes in a variety of colours (I got purple!), and the elastic band closure keeps everything secure while on the go.The notebook comes with a few thoughtful extras: a handy inner pocket to store notes or small items, and a pen holder loop to keep his favourite drawing tool at his fingertips. It even includes two stencils, adding another dimension to his creative projects.At £12, the price seems reasonable considering the quality and features. It's a good value option for any aspiring artist who needs a reliable and inspiring notebook.All in all, this dotted A4 notebook is a great choice for anyone who loves to draw and create. It provides a blank canvas for artistic expression, with thoughtful features and good build quality at a reasonable price.
