Yop & Tom Bullet Dotted Journal (A5) - Hummingbird - Dot Grid Notebook With Extra Thick Paper (160 GSM) - Charcoal

This is my second Yop & Top dot journal. I use 2-4 pages per week and my first journal lasted for 15 months! The paper is so sturdy and my pen never bleeds through. It is solidly bound. I also love that it has two ribbon book marks.

In the recent years I've picked up bullet journalling, and I've bought a few different brands. Last year I found this journal and love it so much that I just bought another! I love the simple designs, the thickness of the paper and I love the attached bookmarks.

Good quality. Good price. Paper thickness is really good.

It would be 5 stars if it laid flat when open as it says it will. It doesn't. I think I need a Coptic binding or spiral if I want that That said, it's beautiful and well made and a joy to write in. No ghosting at all.

This journal is a real good quality product! The ink does not bleed through the pages and the cover is very durable. I will definitely be purchasing another journal.

Love Yop & Tom. This is my 3rd bujo from them. I really like the space grid tool that come with their journals.

Beautiful cover and Great quality paper

This Yop & Tom Bullet Dotted Journal with a Bee on the cover would make a lovely gift for an artist or writer or fan of Bees. At current price of almost $25, it is not cheap but this is a very well-made book and the high quality of the materials and assembly seems worth the cost.The "vegan" (aka not real) leather is actually quite nice--it feels as smooth as genuine leather and looks pretty real. The black color does tend to show smudges, but they also seem to wipe off nicely so far. This journal has really good-quality, thick pages, which are numbered (up to page 153.) I do not think you would have trouble with writing showing/bleeding through on the back side.The pages are "dotted" which means that all the "blank" inner pages are covered with a pale grey grid pattern of dots (hopefully you can see what they are like in picture 2) and with a plus sign right in the middle of the grid. I assume some artists like this dotted grid to keep things aligned when you are using a ruler to draw lines or columns, or for scale measurements. At first, I was thinking I would have preferred that the pages be all white, but I may end up preferring the dots as I use the book and see how they can help make a layout tidier and more professional looking. Pic 6 (which I took from the Yop and Tom Amazon page) shows how the dots can help you make a really nice, straight layout on the page.There are two ribbon book marks (pic 3), an elastic band that keeps the cover closed, and a generous manilla-folder-type-paper-material pocket inside the back page (pic 4.) I tried to fill that up with about 7 full size 8.5x11" pages (folded into quarter size to fit) then closed the book to see how bulky it got--(see pic 5.)All in all this is a high-quality product, with much attention to detail, and it shows in the very satisfactory end-product!
