It includes a secure metal clasp, ribbon page marker, and a memento pouch pocket, making it a stylish and practical choice for professionals who value both aesthetics and functionality. ## Description Paperblanks Nocturnelle journal, a reproduction of an antique French binding, is based on a cover designed in 1829 by publishers A. & W. Galignani for The Poetical Works of Thomas Moore. This notebook cover suggests the fine Moroccan leather, structural sturdiness, careful finishing and ridged spine preferred for bindings of that era. Review: Good journal - I really like this journal even though it does have its flaws, so I’ll just get straight into them cuz that’s what you’re here for. The decorative spine of this book is eventually going to come off after a lot of use. It’s not as well made as the front and back cover and lacks sturdiness. And as others have complained, the design is just an image that has just been printed on top of the journal, it is not actually embossed although it does have some texture. I personally don’t mind, only because I had prior knowledge that embossing of any sort on leather/hide is very expensive, we’re talkin $100+. So $30 for a cheaper alternative is a steal, you don’t get the real deal on desertcart, lower your expectations XD. Now into the things I like about this journal. The size is great if you plan on doing a lot of writing, and the lines on the pages are lightly colored. Too much contract between the lines and the color of the page in other journals have given me headaches and eye strain under bright lights. The claps are great, I waved and shook this journal around trying to get them to unhook and they didn’t. Other reviews have stated that theirs were missing the bookmarks, my was not, they were both securely wedge between the pages. One last thing I like about this book is it gives you a brief history note on the art style and design of the journal. So if you want to learn about it or buy more things under this same style you’ll know what to search for. I’m gonna look it up myself because I’m curious. In all, I think the book is worth it. It’s esthetically pleasing, it’s not too cheaply made and it’s not too expensive. Review: It's an OK journal. The paper seems good. The cover and edge printing is ok. - It's an OK journal. The paper seems good. I have a love of old books and I think I set this up to fail a bit. I was hoping for something that reminded me of old books in a library, the kind that had been there for decades or centuries. This isn't that and, were it that, it would surely cost much more. Still it didn't hit for me with that connection / nostalgia. You may love it. ## Features - 240 lined pages - Convenient memento pouch pocket and ribbon page marker - Metal clasp closure - 8.25 x 11.75 inches - Black with gold tooling. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #160,485 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #142 in Book Making & Binding (Books) #1,955 in Hardcover Executive Notebooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,506 Reviews | ## Images ![Nocturnelle Grande Lined Hardcover Journal, 240pg, 120GSM by Paperblanks (Nocturnelle) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/814cjwleUyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this cover design come in an unlined version?** A: Not any longer. Sorry, thanks for asking. **Q: Is this book college or wide ruled?** A: Paperblanks are all wide ruled. **Q: Is the journal large or small?** A: I'd consider it fairly large for a journal. Apx the size of a regular piece of paper or spiral notebook; larger than a composition book. **Q: Is the paper white, or ivory? And is it safe for fountain and dip pens?** A: The paper is not ivory nor is it white white... I'd call it just off white. The quality is nice however. Thicker than I expected and does great with my fountain pens. I've not tried it with a dip pen however if it works well with the fountain pens I'd think it ok to use a dip pen on. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good journal *by B***E on January 15, 2020* I really like this journal even though it does have its flaws, so I’ll just get straight into them cuz that’s what you’re here for.

The cover and edge printing is ok. *by J***A on September 9, 2026* It's an OK journal. The paper seems good. I have a love of old books and I think I set this up to fail a bit. I was hoping for something that reminded me of old books in a library, the kind that had been there for decades or centuries. This isn't that and, were it that, it would surely cost much more.

It’s absolutely incredible, glamorous, elegant, and impressive. I will touch on what other commenters wrote as well which I found to be untrue. It came in perfect condition, sent in a soft pouch surrounded by bubble wrap in a box. Good delivery. It looks ancient, dark, masculine, divine, important, captivating, and above all bewitching. Size: some were “surprised” by the size of this journal. It says “Grande” in the title. Please look up what that means in Spanish. And then look up the word “Grand” in English. Then reference the measurements literally given in the description… ok. This journal is large. Big. Huge! Like a textbook. It’s the exact size it says it is. Nothing to be surprised about. I wasn’t. Color: some low star reviews say this journal is green. Not at all. In regular light or dim light the journal presents as black. In full light or sunlight like my video you will see undertones of darkest forest green. It honestly looks like an ancient black door that’s weathered over the centuries and certain parts of the metal have oxidized like the Statue of Liberty. It’s black, dark grey, and dark green. It has an ancient look which I adore. It has much more dimension than solid jet black, but if you’re expecting pure black then think again. Embossing: the commenters saying it’s just a flat printed image are wrong. And possibly blind. The entire front and back are raised all over the carvings. It’s subtle. You can feel it. It’s done expertly. Every single groove you see in the picture is stamped or whatever into the actual cover and back, so in no way is this flat. Gold details: the gold trim all along this book is exquisite. It shines! And when you put it in light? It sparkles with all kinds of colors. It’s very enchanting. Cover design: the design is absolutely beautiful but what you can only know by holding it in light is that this cover is sprinkled with what looks like diamond dust. Teeny tiny particles of light are all over it. They twinkle and shimmer but only in direct light. Expertly done, not gaudy like glitter. It seems the book itself is infused with magic bursting out. The clasps: mine were perfectly sturdy. The clasps are actually little magnets that latch on. Easy to open and close. They have an aged bronze look which is really nice. The Gilding: I think I would’ve liked gold edges on all the pages… but I do like shiny. Instead, they’ve gilded the pages with a print that makes the edges of the paper a dull yellow color which mimics an ancient tome’s pages that have been hidden in a sorcerer's lair for centuries. I like it. Pages: The pages are high quality and wonderful. Who writes in a journal with a sharpie? Odd. Not me. I use a pen like normal adults. And its good enough for me. Haven’t tried a fountain pen yet. Some commentor said the lines weren’t dark enough… oh brother. They’re just fine. Check your glasses perhaps? They’re perfect for anyone with proper vision. Extra: this grimoire comes with 2 silk ribbon bookmarks. One red one gold. Nice touch. It also has a beautiful hidden pocket on the back cover for storing any number of artifacts. Clever. All in all… this magnificent tome, glamorous grimoire, and sacred keeper of ineffable secrets is absolutely perfect… for me, at least. ## Frequently Bought Together - Nocturnelle Grande Lined Hardcover Journal, 240pg, 120GSM by Paperblanks (Nocturnelle) - Turquoise Chronicles Ultra Lined Hardcover Journal, 144pg, 120GSM, Chroniques by Paperblanks (Turquoise Chronicles) - Aubergine Ultra Lined Hardcover Journal, 240pg, 120GSM by Paperblanks (Silver Filigree Collection) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/42275614-nocturnelle-grande-lined-hardcover-journal-240pg-120gsm-by-paperblanks-nocturnelle](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/42275614-nocturnelle-grande-lined-hardcover-journal-240pg-120gsm-by-paperblanks-nocturnelle) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-29*
