## Description

desertcart.co.jp: Dingbats* - B5 Sketchbook - Thick and smooth paper pages perfect for sketching, drawing, and journaling. Pockets, Book Band & Bookmark (Professional, Black Cactus Hardcover) : DINGBATS* NOTEBOOKS: Office Products

Review: This is actually a superb quality journal; it’s just not my preferred style of paper and I mistakenly thought it was more of a soft cloth cover - it’s not. It’s hardcover with a cloth finish. The paper is very high quality. Very thick and smooth. I found for writing it’s a bit heavyweight for me. I’ll be using it as more of an art journal (that said, the pages will buckle if using water based paints like watercolour - I don’t mind this). If you like a more rugged, heavyweight journal with thick pages, this might be your thing.
Review: Dingbats is hands down the best brand in terms of journals. Superior to Leuchterm, moleskine, etc. the paper has little (essentially zero) ghosting through to the back. I was turned on to these notebooks thru a YouTube channel and once I made the switch I didn’t look back. It has been years now, so I recently bought a new Leuchterm just to refresh my comparison, and I didn’t make it past the first 10 pages before I gave up and ordered a dingbats instead.
