Collins Legacy A5 Day To Page 2022 Diary - Black

I purchased this for my work. Mobile hairdresser. Its so well made and thought out. Elastic which keeps it closed. The ribbon to mark a page that your working from that day and there's a little pocket at the back inside which you could hold memos, notes, business cards. Also along the bottom of the pages you've got a calendar to work out future appointments. The quality is exceptional too! A big thumbs up 👍😁

This diary was much more expensive than the usual one I buy but the paper is much better quality and won't tear so easily (the diary is about 1/3 thicker). Each day has it's own page (including Saturday and Sunday) and a year planner. It also has reference calenders for three years at the front. Two features I particularly like is the pocket at the back and all the months of the year running across the bottom of two pages. They say you get what you pay for and in this case more expensive meant much better quality.

Edit 27/12/21 - I need to write more compact reviews so edited this from long version:1. No overpowering chemical smell to either the cover/pages.2. The expanding pocket at the back is brilliant idea.3. It has a ribbon for saving your place.4. Elastic band closure5. Soft feel to the diary even though it is sturdy - great for arthritic hands.Confirm 5mm space between lines on diary pages. (can live with it). 12mm between the first line and the date. The space between lines on the contact pages is 8mm.Will be used as a back-up manual diary. If, like me, you are not interested in syncing smartphone diaries with the cloud and/or want a back up of events, then get a paper diary just in case. I would buy this again.

Panic late Dec 2021, wanting manageable size journal with decent quality pages that wouldn't have pen bleed through.This is a really delightful and tactile thing. These lovely pages invite me to write - there is no struggle, I actually so enjoy that if I miss a day, I'm keen to fill it in retrospectively. Even the elastic fastener is pleasurable to wrap round it each day I've committed my thoughts ☺️

It is exactly what I wanted. I like the pocket at the back for bits and pieces and the elastic band to keep the book closed. I would have liked the year on the spine but that is easily added. Well worth the price. Very pleased.
