Our take
For those who value organization and quality.
Alright, so the Leuchtturm1917 Medium Notebook is kind of a big deal in the notebook world, right? Well, I gave it a spin to see what the fuss is all about. First off, the paper quality is pretty solid. I mean, you can tell it's not some cheapo notebook you grabbed at the dollar store. The paper's got this nice thickness to it, so if you're using something like a fountain pen, it holds up well. No annoying bleed-through, which is a big win if you like your notes neat and tidy. But here's the thing: if you use really inky pens, you might still see a bit of ghosting. Not a deal-breaker, but something to note.
The design is simple and clean, which is cool if you’re not into flashy stuff. It has this sturdy cover that feels like it could survive a toss into a backpack without falling apart. There are a bunch of color options, which is nice if you want a bit of personality. The elastic band to keep it closed is a nice touch — nothing groundbreaking, but it gets the job done. It’s got a sleek vibe, kind of like the notebook equivalent of a little black dress.
Now, if you're the organized type, you might dig the numbered pages and the index section. It's like the notebook wants to help you stay on top of your notes and thoughts. But, if you’re more of a scribbler who doesn’t care for order, this might be overkill. The built-in table of contents is handy, but honestly, if you’re not gonna use it, it’s just taking up space. And let’s face it, not everyone’s gonna bother with it.
One of the standout features for me is the dotted grid option. It’s kind of the best of both worlds if you like to switch between drawing and writing. The dots are subtle enough that they don’t distract you, but they’re there when you need them. If you’re more of a lined or blank page fan, they’ve got those too, so you’re covered. It’s nice to have the options, but choose wisely based on what you actually do most.
Finally, let’s talk price. This isn’t the cheapest notebook out there, so if you’re just jotting down grocery lists, it might be a bit much. But if you’re someone who journals a lot or needs something reliable for work or school, it could be worth the splurge. It’s a notebook that feels like it’s got your back, even if it’s asking you to shell out a bit more cash. Just weigh how much you think you'll actually use and appreciate the features before making the leap.
