Bullet Journal Notebooks with black paper
In no partcular order…
1. Pilot Black Note Notebook
- Price: $38 – $40 USD
- Paper: 160 GSM
- 48 pages
- 7mm dot grid
- B5 page size (6.9 x 9.8″ high or 17.6cm wide x 25cm high)
- Softcover
- Glue binding
The cheapest notebook on the list at only $7.20. If you’ve never tried blackout paper and don’t want to pay a lot more for a notebook with heaps of pages, start with this one. It has a larger dot grid at 7mm but a larger page size too (most notebooks are A5, this one is B5).

- Paper: 160 GSM
- Page size: A5, B5

Can’t go wrong with an Archer and Olive. Solid hardcover, durable sewn binding and plenty of different images on the cover to choose from.
