Nitoms S4103 STALOGY Notebook, A6, Squared, 365 Days Notebook, Black

This is my favorite notebook and I will probably be buying a second one soon. Great paper, doesn't bleed but also very thin so the notebook doesn't take up much room.

I started out with a larger bullet journal but realized I'm not really interested in decorating or planning (I work in an art journal, so I get my creative stuff out in that area)- I just really liked writing out daily to-do lists and documenting my days in list format.This little tiny book is perfect for that- it's about the height and width of my iPhone (a tiny bit wider) and thick as a paperback. It seems like it is a coptic binding but it's covered with a very thin stretch of material- it lays *kinda* flat when open, but the small size and heaviness of the amount of pages make that tricky. I have no problem opening it and writing in it.The paper quality is "meh"- it's super thin and VERY smooth, and I like to use pencil, so I wish the pages had a bit more texture and heft to them. And if you use post-it notes and move them around, the pages will curl up after removing that sort of adhesive. Erasability is not great.As far as the grid, it's light. And the little date thing on top is microscopic- too small to be used, so I just write the date across that area.Despite these little nitpicks I have with the notebook, out of all the books I have used for planning/bullet journaling, this is my "Unicorn" journal- it's perfect for me. Perfect size, perfect shape, perfect grid. It doesn't take any time to work in it because of the size and it's has genuinely increased my productivity level. I like that the pages aren't dated or specifically purposed- every few days I can dedicate a page to brainstorming or a monthly to-do list or jot some notes down and it flows with the rest of the journal.Perfection. Just wish the pages were slightly more textured and durable.

Perfect size. Paper is great too.

Instead of ordering this year's Hobonichi release, I did a quick search on Amazon and found this gem. I'm glad I did, because this is just a much, much better alternative for my needs. Here's the breakdown:1. It's cheaper2. No outrageous shipping charge from Japan3. No 2-3 week wait for overseas shipping4. Same size as Hobonichi A65. Nearly the same cover. The gold gilding (branding) is, of course, different, but if you have this in a cover, it doesn't matter.6. The paper is of the same quality. I have used Microns, Tombows, and Koi/Prima/Fine-Tec watercolors and it has held up beautifully with NO bleeding. The only significant show-through (outside of the shadowing you'd find in a Hobonichi) is when I tried to blend Tombows with several layers (color, color, colorless blender, etc.). Even then, it did not break down the paper surface - I just noticed a little more evidence of the color on the reverse side of the paper. I tested this in my Hobonichi, and the paper reacted the same way. I would say the paper is of a very similar, if not equal, quality.7. Fits inside Hobonichi brand A6 covers and cover on covers perfectly8. Grid is faint, but visible and an excellent guide for bullet journaling, text, etc.9. The ENTIRE PAGE is available for use. I love this because there are no huge dates, or quotes/text at the bottom. There is still some faint, tiny date information at the top of the page, but it is faint. If you are using this for a daily planner and need to refer to the date constantly, You either need excellent eyes, a magnifying glass, or you will need to write in the date yourself.I have completely switched over to this brand, and I just ordered an A5 (=Hobonichi Cousin). Great product, great price, great Prime avaiability. Can't beat it.

I love all of the stalogy line of notebooks! They are economical and well made. One of my favorite line of notebooks.

Nice book that lays flat. The days/dates at the top are too small. You can't read them even with a magnifying glass. Not a problem. I will just write it in myself. The grid lines are faint also. I like that there are 368 pages. I can use it for an entire year. I plan to use stickers, so it will work for my purpose.

This is the perfect notebook I’ve been searching for!!!5mm gridFlexible cover and notebookPaper not too thick or thick, just right365 pages!Only 6.2 oz4.1” x 5.75”1/2 inch thick

This is a wonderful alternative to the Hobonichi! I have been toying with getting a Hobonichi for months but, because the dated pages are intimidating, I decided to go with this more flexible alternative. The dimensions are the same as the Hobonichi Techo, with one page for each day. There are little Day/Month/Year lists are the top of each page so you can circle/underline the date info if you wish. The paper is shiny but not too shiny and of wonderful quality. I have already done a spread using spray inks, glue, and Fujifilm Instax prints that turned out wonderfully. While I did have some bleed-through with the spray ink because I was too heavy-handed with the application, I think that a more modest amount would be perfect on this paper. The book is well made and cute and fun as an everyday carry journal. I am excited to make regular spreads and use all kinds of media. I layered media - stamps, glue, watercolor/dye, and photos - with no problem, and the adhesive-backed embellishments I used adhered very well. I still love the Hobonichi, but I really feel like this is a high-quality, reasonably-priced alternative I am going to love. Note that this is the 4x6, A6 version, so it is small. There is also an A5 version that is closer in size to the Hobonichi cousin, and that is equally as wonderful to use. I am told that this Stalogy fits well in Hobonichi Tech-sized covers, as well.

Tried all combinations of well behaved inks, pens and Nib combo. But there a ton of bleedthrough. Very disappointing experience with the product given it says it’s fountain pen friendly.

Por mucho mucho tiempo he llevado un diario, pero hace poco empecé a usar plumas fuente y además cambié mi método deeacritura, consideré usar un Hobonich pero viene con fecha y eso no me funciona de todo porque no todos los días escribo y gastaría muchas páginas. Hay muchas opciones, pero después de investigar y de ver mis opciones me decidí por este. El papel es muy delgado, pero aguanta muy bien la pluma fuente, si hay algo de ghosting en la pagina de atrás pero a mi no me molesta nada, estoy muy acostumbrada porque por años he usado Moleskine y todos conocen que el papel no es el mejor, pero me gustaba mucho de todos modos, y aún lo seguiría usando pero necesito cuadrícula y la cuadrícula de Moleskine es demasiado obscura.Aunque este cuaderno tiene aproximadamente el mismo número de páginas que mi moleskine, es mucho más delgado y pesa menos. Es muy portable.No tiene bolsillo trasero, lo cual no me encanta, pero es compatible con las cubiertas de los midori y le queda muy bien, ahora tengo dos bolsillos. Y se todos modos, hay muchas cubiertas para este tamaño, es muy fácil conseguir una de cualquier marca y precio.La mejor sugerencia es comprar un Shitajiki o Pencil board, ayuda a que no se marquen las páginas siguientes cuando uno escribe pesado (como yo) y si es que a alguien le molesta ver esas marcas (a mi no), también ayuda a escribir en una superficie plana, como cuando uno pega boletos o algún tipo de recuerdo y hace que la siguiente pagina no esté plana, con el Shitajiki ya no se siente que se está escribiendo sobre algo más.

Perfetta agenda compatta per il free planner. i quadratini della trama sono quasi trasparenti così da lasciare piena libertà nello scrivere e/o fare planning.Carta ottima, resistente e non lascia passare l'inchiostro.

Super qualité

Magnifique carnet ! Les finitions sont impeccables, le papier est de grande qualité. Le format est parfait pour moi, j’ai fatigué avec les formats a5 qui ne rentrent pas dans tous mes sacs. J’ai longtemps hésité avec le format B6 mais je ne regrette absolument pas mon choix ! Il va me suivre partout ! Un carnet minimaliste, élégant, pratique et de très bonne qualité. Le prix peut vous refroidir mais vous ne regretterez pas ! Un des rares carnets où on peut écrire au stylo plume en toute quiétude. La papeterie japonaise est l’une des plus réputée dans monde et on leur dit merci 🙏
