I am an angry writer.
I'm a happy person, mind, but as a writer, I am frustrated by the lack of affordable, attractive, large-format, quality lined writing books on the market. Goldilocks visiting the world's smallest mattress store would have better odds of walking out with something she wants than I do digging through notebooks at the local OfficeMax. Or Barnes & Noble. Or Office Depot. Searching for great notebooks makes me cranky--I'd rather be writing!
I produce about ten pages a day longhand. This pace means I go through notebooks quickly: anorexic, overpriced Moleskines, begone!
Prowling for a new notebook online, I came across the Leuchtturm homepage. I loved the available sizes and exciting colors of the Leuchtturm 1917 notebooks, but they looked to be European exclusives. Luckily, Oscar's Art Books here on Amazon had one for sale in my color (red), size ("Master"), and paper style (lined).
I'm staring at the book right now, and what I'm looking at is WRITING HAPPINESS INCARNATE.
***THE BOOK***
First of all, it's HUGE (8.75"x12.5"). But forget the dimensions--it's hard to find lined writing books larger than 5x7" with more than 80 pages in them, but the Leuchtturm has over 200 sheets of paper. I won't be zapping through this in a month!
Second, it's bright cherry red. Bookstores are drowning in notebooks that are overpriced Italian leather in boring brown, or that have stupid hippie-looking illustrations on the front. (I like illustrations on my notebooks. Just not stupid hippie-looking ones.) The color is so refreshing!
These two features alone would delight me to no end. But these next set of features that get me giddy--here's why:
Whenever I buy a new notebook, I have some rituals.
- First, I do is give it a title page that tells me the name of the current book, plus the name of the notebook that came before it, and what notebook will come after it.
- Then I skip to the last 5 pages of the book and label them "journal pages."
- Right before the journal pages, I label a page "Index" so when I'm done with the book I can find any extras I've written (for instance, maybe I'll write a poem on page 53 and have to skip my novel around it. My index let me know what page I can find the poem on).
The Leuchtturm has:
- A table of contents up front. You fill it in, but it's set up with columns so you can write in a page number and what's on that page.
- Page numbers already written in.
- A tiny envelope in the back cover so I can put tiny paper treasures in there. Yay, treasures!
- Stickers--long ones for the spine and big fat square ones. "Please use these stickers for labeling the spine of your book when you want to archive it."
WHAT THE HECK LEUCHTTURM you realize I might actually fill a book and keep it and want to organize??! Leave it to the Germans to solve a problem I didn't even know I had.
***THE CONS***
Sure, this puppy's price is comparable to some of those fancy Italian leather books at BN--but for the size, sheetcount, and details, I think it's well worth it.
The only thing I'm iffy on with this book is the paper weight. The pages seem thinner than the ones in my CR Gibson bonded leather books (which are another fabulous product). I wonder how the Leuchtturm will take the ink. Guess I'd better go find out!
***THE VERDICT***
Leuchtturm 1917 = Writing Happiness Incarnate. Large format. Lines. Lotsa paper. Lotsa goodies.
Amazon--please stock these. I would buy one in every color.
Page layout is nice; good margin space and a date field at the top of each page; pages are numbered and there is a write-in page index in the front of the book. The grid lines on each page are just the perfect amount of opacity against pencil or black/blue pen lines. As a supply coordinator for midstream energy logistics company, it is often helpful to take notes or draw things out for people using a lot of different colors. For ink, I typically use multi-color Pilot Precise V7 sticks , or multi-color Paper Mate Inkjoy sticks. For lead, I use Dixon Ticonderoga soft HB#2's. Despite the fact that I am not using fancy fountain pens or anything, the writing action on this paper already feels nicer than standard cheap paper or Moleskine paper. I can only imagine the difference for someone who is sure-handed with a fountain pen.
This notebook is very big, and can completely contain a letter size (8.5" x 11") piece of paper, which makes it great for keeping your notes organized. It's about the size of my work laptop (HP Folio 9470m Elitebook), so if I am travelling without my PC, it fits naturally into the laptop slot of my messenger bag.
Overall, worth the money. Super nice notebook. I will likely be buying more Leuchtturm 1917 products.
The master size notebook is very large - you can glue an entire 8.5" x 11" or A4 sheet on one of the notebook pages. This is a really cool feature for things like travel, because you can print out a map of a city or neighborhood, glue it into the notebook, and jot down notes on the map. But even for general note taking, if you like to leave a lot of white space on the page, then this notebook definitely fits the bill.
The built in table of contents, page numbers, and date fields are very nice organizational touches. If you use note organizing systems like bullet notes or the highfive method ([...]), this notebook's built in features enhance your ability to keep track of your notes.
The quality of the notebook paper is very good. I use a fountain pen with a broad nib, which tends to write pretty wet, but the paper in the notebook handles it pretty well. I get very little bleedthrough, and the ink dries down in a few seconds. The print quality of the lines in the notebook is great, and the binding is done so the lines match from page to page. Compared to my last few Moleskines, which had waxy paper that didn't handle fountain pen ink very well, and printed lines that were much darker and wider than older versions (I pulled some old notebooks and compared - the difference is visible), and poor binding so the lines don't match up from page to page, it's no contest.
Go read about Leuchtturm 1917 - read the other reviews here on Amazon, and read reviews elsewhere. If there's a store near you that carries these notebooks, definitely check them out.
