And 1 pocket folder adhered to the back cover
Pen Testing
I tried the usual ballpoint, gel, fine tip and erasable pens. All of them had some ghosting along with the stamps and highlighters.
Pros of the Notebook
- Portable size
- Cheap (approx $20 AUD)
- Multiple cover colors to choose from
Cons of the Notebook
- Paper prone to ghosting
- Cream colored pages, not bright white
Would I use this planner?
Yes. Can never have too many dot grid notebooks! While not the best paper quality, the notebook was cheap so to be expected. It would make a good first notebook if you haven’t yet tried bullet journaling.

Flying Tiger also has a store in NYC, way too conveniently located within a 5 minute walk from my office 🙂
That sounds dangerous… I didn’t realise they had stores outside of Europe!
Flying Tiger Copenhagen has nearly 30 stores in Japan, where they are pretty popular.
You should never go to Japan. It’s too dangerous for stationery addicts. ^_^
