I just purchased this product, having purchased a very similar one ("Intricate Inlays") design in the past. The product is nice-- good quality, nice paper. The paper is not too thick, but it feels "nice." The designs are pretty, with the raised edges/patterns adding visual and textural interest. They're pretty small little journals, but they hold up well and look rather nice.

I love, love, love this journal and all of the intricate inlays Paperblanks Journals.

I realized a few years ago that journaling is really good for my overall well being. I also realized that I was far more likely to journal when I really liked the physical journal in which I was writing. I looked back over journals I'd filled with writing and I noticed that the only journals I had finished were Paperblanks brand.

So at the beginning of 2008 I went on a serious research trip to find a new Paperblanks journal that I liked. I found the Intricate Inlays style and I loved it. The size is so handy. It easily fits inside a handbag so you can take it with you. The paper is lovely quality and I prefer lined paper for writing. I have recently started water coloring and I find that it's a truly enjoyable way to enhance my journaling, especially when I use the journal and the watercolor to record experiences from travels. The lined writing is a light gray and it disappears whenever I do a watercolor so it's really the best of both worlds. I like the elastic band that surrounds the front cover. Every time I use this journal people complement it - both men and women.

I only wish that I could still find these for sale. They are few and far between.

I used this as a journal the first time I went to Europe. I was sixteen and travelling from place to place with just one bag and the size to page number ratio of this journal was perfect: I had enough space to write and not have to buy another one, but it was small enough that I could always have it in my purse to pull out on a train or anything. It's a shame now that I'm looking through the reviews and see that they've been discontinued and that my praise for this journal will pretty much be useless. However, I'd highly recommend anything else in this size by Paperblanks as the paper is really nice. This one, as well, has a pocket in the back where I fit all my ticket stubs and brochures.
