Review: A pretty journal: good quality, with numbered pages! - I've been using this journal over a year now, and really love it. It still looks awesome on the outside... and on the inside, well, there you'd find my private thoughts and artwork. I use this notebook exclusively with fountain pen inks... a variety of inks. Usually there's no bleed through. Occasionally there is. As an artist, my challenge is to make the bleed through situations into something beautiful. I find that to be a lot of fun... so am staying positive and not complaining. This is a great notebook for writing in. There's an index of several pages at the beginning, and the pages are numbered, so it is perfect for use as a bullet journal or writer's journal, or whatever you like. The pages seem kind of thin, but still good quality. I have other bullet journals with thicker pages. But it is what it is and either you like it for what it is or you don't. I would not hesitate to buy another journal like this one, when this is full. However - if I was to do it again, I wouldn't limit myself just to fountain pen ink in this journal. Probably there are other pens that would be better for this one, like the Staedtler Triplus Fineliner Pens which are bright and beautiful and will not bleed through. (I just tried them on my pen check page at the back of the notebook, and they are perfect for this thickness and quality of paper. The cover of my Leuchtturm 1917 is hardcover, and the color is pink... what they call berry. It is so pretty. I'm glad I bought this one. It comes with the elastic, as pictured, and there's a nice sturdy pocket on the inside back cover. I've found it very handy for smaller items I pick up during my travels. The endpapers are white... a sort of creamy white. Everything about this notebook journal speaks quality. I've used this as a travel journal, for recording quotes, and as a memoir journal, using a prompt book. I'm not using it for my daily observations of life, though it could be that type of journal if need be. I do a lot of ink painting in this journal. I use the same inks I put into my fountain pens - Noodlers Inks in a variety of colors, and De Atramentis® Document Ink . I've also used the Pilot Varsity Disposable Fountain Pens in this journal. It does well with all, but as you can imagine, if I put on the ink too thickly there's that risk of bleed through... so I've learned how much to use, and how much I can get away with layering it before the ink goes through the paper. It is a learning process. Recently I used a pen with a medium nib, and that bled through. Not good... and usually I use the extra-fine nibs which are better for preventing bleed through. Not a problem though - I turned the page and used the bleed-through page to create a bit of art using fountain pen ink applied by water brushes. I like the way it turned out even with the bleed through - it became part of the art. So, if you're looking for a good quality notebook with thin paper... numbered, with an index and pocket, this could be the right journal for you. I recommend it. I like all the colors, especially the berry pink which is so, so pretty. No complaints from me.
Review: Excellent quality with superb value - Like a lot of other people on here, I've been using Moleskine notebooks of different sizes for many years. But I saw someone talk about these and I was wanting to try something different. These notebooks are very nice and offer the same quality as the Moleskine alternatives. Beyond that, when you compare prices for comparably size notebooks, the Leuchtturm1917 seems to offer a lot of value for the money considering how many pages you get. I like the color options of these notebooks. I'm a photographer, writer and content maker, and I like to use different color books for each thing I write about whether it's content creation ideas, story/book ideas and details, personal thoughts or whatever. Right now, I've got six of these in all different colors. Hopefully the colors will be around for a while so I can keep up a consistent theme. I like that the pages are numbered and that the paper is acid free, so there's more longevity to the pages if I hang onto the books for a while. There's a bit of bleed through with my favorite Pilot G2 pens, but not much. I was using fine point Sharpie pens, but there's much more bleedthrough with those. I like the Pilot pens much better for writing in these. You get a few perforated pages that you can tear out. Maybe those are for a grocery list or handing off a list to someone else, but I really don't use those pages. Overall, I like these notebooks a lot and plan on stacking up some more to use down the road. They offer great bang for the buck with quality on par with the best.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ smooth, archival paper, no major bleeding. VERY similar to Moleskine.
*by T***K on September 26, 2025*

I've been using MOLESKINE books for about 15 years now, and the LEUCHTTURM1917 books are nearly identical to MOLESKINE brand books. If you are used to using those, you will find these to be a comparable value. One thing I did like about the LEUCHTTURM books is they have more pages, or at least the ones I bought were easier to find with more pages than MOLESKINE. THe paper is good archival quality, and using my standard assortment of pens from a generic Pilot G2 ballpoint to fine nib fountain pens with custom ink, the paper is smooth and easy to write on, and I have not noticed any significant bleeding. Overall I'm satisfied with the quality of the book, but I would say I guess that maybe they could do something to set this brand apart from the better known competitors. There are too many of these brands all doing the same thing these days.
