Review: Extremely happy with this travel notebook and its superb functionality for what it is designed for - I just received my Wanderings Leather Notebook Journal and am very happy with this item. It looks very nice and that is important to me. Functionality is even more important and this is where it shines. The elastic bands that hold the the inserts seem robust and with a lifetime warranty, I find my mind at ease. It is real vice faux leather and this shows via subtle imperfections that give this notebook "character". The paper seems adequate to fine writing and note taking. It is thick enough that you can write on both sides without major interference from the writing on the other side impairing you ability to read well what you wrote. I will be shifting to fountain pens in a day or two and will let you know how that works out. I have also put in the graph paper insert and it fit just fine. The elastic band that keeps it closed works perfectly. This is exactly what I wanted for taking notes at work and when traveling as well as personal writing when I go on travel with my wife, family or friends. Since it hold three inserts I will use two for work and one for personal writings. I do not like to mix personal with work and this gives me that flexibility I wish I had found this earlier, to be honest. Now I can store old work notes and ideas in chronological order as I work through each insert. Same with my personal notes, poetry, ideas and writings. It is very close to the perfect size for travel. Large enough for substantive content on a page and yet small enough to carry by hand, in a briefcase, purse or other bag. Too big for most pockets though. A smaller version that can fit a pocket might make sense. Like a sportcoat jacket pocket or a back pocket in a pair of pants. However, given it's current size I am very happy with this product. It is well made, serves its function well and provides an adequate means to capture, notes, thoughts and any other ideas or scribbling one may want to do without undue constraints. I did not receive this product for free and paid my well earned money to get it and was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this product. It is well worth what I paid for it. If something fails there is the lifetime warranty as well.
Review: Great leather cover! - My notebook arrived absolutely exactly as pictured and described. It looks beautiful, and it is incredibly functional. It looks good, feels good in hand, seems to be high quality, and well-designed. I like the included inserts. You can also use passport size inserts from Midori, Muji, etc. Update: I liked the passport version so much that I just bought and received an A5 version as well. They match perfectly. I'm very sensitive to smells, and unlike the reviews of other similar products, I can confirm that this notebook has no discernible smell at all. With a one of the paper inserts in it, it smells like paper. Nothing rubs off on my hands (someone else had warned of stains?). It's just a fantastic leather product. If you have owned any other leather products, you know how it will respond in terms of its appearance when being rubbed or scraped by something. The resulting "worn" look or patina is exactly what gives leather products their warm sense of character and genuineness. If you want something that can be dragged on concrete with no visible changes, you need to purchase a plastic notebook. This one is a beautifully crafted leather product. One final thought: the elastic bands can be easily modified. I wasn't sure I liked the small piece of leather that goes over the open side when the notebook is closed, so I removed it at least temporarily (doing that required the same kind of dexterity you'd need to untie shoe laces). I also wasn't sure I'd want to keep the bottom metal dongle, so I untied and removed that too. My point is that you can modify the elastic bands, tie/untie them, replace them cheaply, etc. The bands that come with this notebook will arrive set up in a way that makes 99.9% of customers satisfied. I just like to play with such things. It's somehow reassuring that in today's world you can buy something that is so easily customized to fit your preferences.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You won't be left disappointed.
*by D***S on August 29, 2016*

The Basics::: Upon delivery you will find the notebook in a plastic sleeve in a nice cardboard box that is also wrapped in plastic. You will receive the notebook itself plus 3 included blank page booklets/refills already secured in the notebook. If you prefer lined paper or other types, refills can easily be purchased here on Amazon. I already ordered lined paper when initially ordering the notebook and this is the brand I used. Midori Traveler's Notebook (refill 001) ruled The fit is good although the edges are square instead of rounded like the included blank refills. I do not have a preference but If you do then just be on the lookout for that I am sure you can find rounded edge refills. Initial Thoughts::: When I took the notebook out of it's packaging I couldn't help but immediately be satisfied with my purchase. Upon taking the plastic sleeve off of the notebook I noticed some superficial marks on the leather, which happens I know, but it made me wonder if they do that in the manufacturing process on purpose or if it just occurs. Either way it did not bother me as I thought it gave the notebook some character right out of the box. The notebook does seem to be a little darker then what was shown in the pictures, I actually like it better with the darker color. The feel of the leather itself is fantastic, soft and pliable, and has the beautiful leather smell to it. I expect it to age nicely over time. The notebook itself seems to be of high quality for this price, the bands that hold both the notebook closed and paper refills inside seem well made, and secure. I also find the 3 separate paper refills inside to be a unique idea. On the front of the notebook you will notice an embossed logo for the company Wanderings I assume, as far as I know they do not offer any custom personalization, but it is leather you can always go to someone and get it personalized any way you like upon receiving the item. So far I am very satisfied with this notebook, and as of now I recommend it 100%. This is defiantly a high quality product and Wanderings knows that and have put a Lifetime Guarantee to back it. Really that being said you can not go wrong in my opinion. Come January 2017 I will update this review based on how its held up and functioned for me. I have noticed that some of the reviewers received and discount/free notebook for a review so I will go ahead and say that I payed full price for the notebook and am merely leaving a review as I feel this product deserves one.
