2015 Weekly Journal

 

Black leatherette cover, (also available in turquoise, pink). Single ribbon. No pocket.

 

Starts December 2014, ends with January 2016, with brief, lined, 1/2 pages for all months of 2016.

Blank lined note pages, address pages.

Maps of major world cities, common phrases English, French, German, Italian, Spanish.

 

The paper is ivory, gilt edges. Next to Moleskine it appears similar, but heavier, and of course no bleed through, or feathering typical of Moleskine. (none in this example, on one page so far)

 

Papyrus Store manager stated if not ink friendly it was returnable, no questions.

It IS ink friendly, at least the one I purchased is, using Aurora Black ink with bold Lamy nib, no bleed through or feathering on 1 entry.

 

With use, may lay flat.

 

Very nice size, not as huge as large Rhodia weekly, the 5 x 7 has good space for multiple daily entries, unlike the very small planners. Easily fits on desk with laptop open. Small enough to put in small briefcase or backpack.

 

Sticker $29.95 - 40% so less than Rhodia.

I may prefer this over Rhodia weekly even at full cost.

Will update later.

 

Quick update; took brief meeting highlight notes using a wetter nib lamy 1.1 Lamy Blue ink. Very slightly dry across paper, but full coverage. Almost imperceptible pin dot bleed or two on back. No feathering at all. So far I'm impressed, and pleased with this purchase.

Yes, and Ouch! that pink is much brighter than in real life. The black, which I purchased, is very dignified, looks/feels like leather.

 

Color aside, this linked page shows almost nothing of the actual layout, which is quite nice. Lines instead of dots or graph. If I had to offer any negatives it would be that the ribbon is not high quality, and lack of pocket (which is non-essential for me).

I like the grainy aspect of the cover, as well as the golden aspect of the pages' edge.
