Insights - Game Of Thrones Series - The Ruled Journal

[claudewick]

I discovered this journal by accident. I was looking at some books and boardgames in a Bookstore when I faced this journal among the Game of Thrones books and games.

 

Well, as a fan of the books and the TV series I decided to grab one. At the bookstore there was 3 option, the gray journal of the House Stark, The red of the Lannisters and the brown for the Baratheon's family. I choose the first one. The front and back cover are in a kind of faux leather with engravings, very nice.

 

I'm used to see a lot of brands that produce those "moleskine kind" journals, some of them are very beautiful, but they usually have thin (and not FP friendly) paper.

 

This one was a surprise, the paper is thicker than the other generic "moleskines", it's FP friendly and also have some details related to the TV series that might please the fans, like me.

 

The first page shows a foldable poster-like page, featuring a photo of the set and inside some information about the characters. The last page shows the map of GRR Martin's fictional world.

 

I made a writing test using Iroshizuku's inks (Yama-budo, Fuyu-Syogun and Kon-Peki) and I haven't noticed feathering or bleeding.

 

The MSRP is USD 18,95, but here in Brazil everything is always more expensive, so it cost me around 23 USD, what I think is a fair price considering the quality of the journal.

 

Cheers

Claude

Thanks for the review. I would have just assumed that it wouldn't be FP friendly paper. The cover is sharp as well.
