This notebook is from my 2nd Europe Stationery Haul.

Price: 5 Euro

The Cover

The hardcover chipboard has the pattern printed directly onto it. Since it’s chipboard it’s sturdy without weighing much. There were a few cover options to choose from – my 2nd pick was a cover with dashhounds.

Approx 0.5″ thick (about 1cm)

The pages lay flat on their own

Not sure if I just got a dud but some of the pages had this weird indent. I don’t like the odd stitching location of the 3 bookmarks. Usually these would be adhered to the back of the planner, not oddly in the middle stitching.

But at least the pages are bright white! The dots are 6mm x 6mm (so slightly bigger than the usual 5mm grid that most notebooks have).

Pages lay flat on their own.

Pen Testing

The paper didn’t hold up too badly from the pen test – there was light ghosting of the marker pens and highlighters and 1 of the MAMBI stamps bled through. For the price of this notebook I was surprised that the paper wasn’t too bad!
