I just picked one up recently and it’s completely changed how I journal! Helpful little tool! Appreciate the video!

I really appreciate the mention that the paper clip does not come with. 😂😂 nice touch! I have had mine for a few years too. They are sturdy and very convertible. Nice review. I like your cheeky humor.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh,Bill! You're holding such a magnificent pen today. The Black Rosetta is always exciting to see! Thank you,little buddy.

Writing "on the go",stashing stationary supplies in carry bags etc. sounds so romantic and adventurous to me. Truth is that a Field Notes and shirt-pocket pen(like Pilot G-2 or Retro 51 rollerball) is all I really tend to carry. I'm at a very sedentary/boring stage of life and can only admire those who actually need leather-covered notebooks for travel or commuting. I do have a dark blue(looks black) Travelers passport-size but only use it for truly mundane notes and lists; never carry it anywhere. I just love their cool-factor.

I will use Tomoe River paper for very special occasions/letters to loved ones;but,most of the time I use pen+Gear A5-size notebooks from Walmart. They contain 30 sheets each; cost $1 apiece. I use 2-3 of them a month for taking notes on books I'm reading or subjects I'm researching online. Cheap but work well for my purposes. I actually prefer that paper to the coated Rhodia or Claire Fontaine stuff.

Thanks for the review,Dan!

Thanks for the review - been eying one up

Useful review.
I still can't quite convince myself that I'd put it to best use, though. I seem to get by quite nicely without journal binders.

oh if it wasn’t that expensive

I have plunged! The vegan one is made of 'cactus leather'. I hope they take the thorns out first. 🤔

You mentioned adding more clips to have up to 5… any idea where you can order the clips from? Thanks!

Cheers Ive been thinking of the B6 version of these and still can’t decide if i can justify another cover hahaha

Could you fit a top-bound notepad in the back pocket? Maybe not A5 size?

I know the comment is me being a smart ass, and maybe you were just joking as well. I was just laughing since you congratulated yourself on saying  Leuchtturm and yet butchered it.

Says the native German: Your enunciation of "Taschenbegleiter" is actually not at all far off the mark! 😉

Notebooks already come equipped with covers, and are fully functional on their own. Yet, we are encouraged to buy additional covers for notebooks that already have them.

Some might argue that these systems are necessary for carrying multiple notebooks together. However, we already have bags designed for that very purpose. Essentially, we are being sold a "notebook system" to cover notebooks that are already covered and then carry these "systems" in bags that are specifically made for transporting everything we need—from notebooks to pens, laptops, and any accessories of any size.

This creates an unnecessary and costly layer on top of an existing solution, allowing us to achieve the same outcome we previously managed without the so-called notebook system.

What will be next? "Pen systems" to put pens inside a pen-shaped shell, so the pens can be used as pens? The consumerism of such marketing tactics seems to know no bounds!
