I'm a bit overwhelmed by my new TN and haven't yet been able to sully its immaculate pages with my ramblings. But soon! Thanks to The Journal Shop for top-rate service - free postage and immediate delivery. Means I will keep coming back for supplies!

This is a beautiful piece. Lovely supple leather and good quality inserts. It seems very sturdy and hardwearing and has stood up well to falling around inside my rucksack all day. Prompt service from the Journal Shop.

This is fairly essential kit if you get out and about and need an elegant and useful journal. People will ask you about it, it is very eye catching and tactile. A few things to note, when you first receive it - it smells very strongly of some sort of chemical. It smelled like petrol to me. So you will need to let it "breathe" to get rid of the smell which should go after a few days. The leather seemed a bit dry to me also so I waxed and oiled the Notebook. This made it go darker and now that the wax has soaked in, it looks stunning.

The notebook is great. I was partly persuaded by a review on YouTube (http://youtu.be/1kPPu1q6mL4) to buy one. Very happy with it. Ordered late Friday. Arrived Tuesday morning. Staff were incredibly generous after I narrowly missed a special offer and gave me a couple of free refills.

I bought this notebook after seeing so many beautiful pictures on the dedicated Flickr group http://www.flickr.com/groups/travelernotebook/ - it arrived the next day and I was not at all disappointed with it. It's so simple and flexible, I know it will be used for many years to come. I love the way people have customised them and look forward to 'growing into' mine. I'm learning to relax my usual determination to keep things pristine as this leather is presented in a way which is meant to mark and scratch, and in fact this will make it get even better as it's used. That will take a little getting used to! I have purchased a number of accessories and am awaiting a few more which are out of stock, hope they won't be too long, and I'm glad there is the option of free saver shipping for those extras which were not available when I made my main order. I've found a number of useful websites which include printable PDFs and ideas for additional things to make which go beyond the standard Midori offerings too - if you get one, it's definitely worth googling. I would absolutely recommend this product and will probably be giving some as gift too :)

I still have to get used to it. It feel's nice and looks very good. Thank you for the save shipping - took a few days longer than expected - but no problem with that.

This is the perfect companion, I use mine at work and away the paper is great quality and I have already started to customize it.

I bought mine in 2010 and now use it 'full time' for my writings over and above any other journals I have. Quality paper for my fountain pen ink, quality paper for drawing on, quite simply a very good book for people who journal, sketch, draw, doodle, write with fountain pens. Just buy one! The only disappointment I have is the £10 price increase of the ones in store now since I bought mine, however I would still get another. The extras just make it even better. Worth every pound.
