Rhodia117747C - Soft Notebook Bullet Journal Goalbook Turquoise - A5 - Dotted Dot - 240 pages - 90g Ivory Clairefontaine Paper - 2 Ribbons, Elastic Closure - Faux Leather Cover

Rhodia have solved all my bullet journal woes!!I initially thought I'd bought the wrong product, but the Rhodia Goal book is basically the same as their usual dot matrix books but with contents pages and a monthly summary at the beginning all set up for you. It still has the great paper quality and high standards that I have come to expect with Rhodia notebooks.And it's cheaper?!Will be buying these ones always!

This was my first time of using a Rhodia Goalbook as a bullet journal. The paper is good quality with a smooth coating (not actually great for coloured pencils, as it's slippery and many pens still ghost through) It is also very yellowy-coloured compared to the Leuchtturm notebooks I used previously. It will take watercolour although it does crinkle a bit. I bought a second one afterwards, but the binding split on the back cover before I was half way through and the pocket in the back had to be re-stuck several times as it kept detaching from the rear cover. Not what you expect from a quality notebook. I won't be buying a third one.

Great notebook. I love the quality of Rhodia paper. But I still like Leuchtturm better, as the pages are a bit lighter in colour and better with water-based markers. My mum however, liked the darker dots of the Rhodia more. I also appreciate the leather(ish?) semi soft cover. And I love the contrast of colours. Overall a premium notebook, in the range of Leuchtturm 1917 and Moleskine.The goalbook format is simple and perfect for bullet journaling.

Usual great quality rhodia paper which is very fountain pen friendly.Nice to have a notebook of this style and size without having the additional bulk of a hardcover like the hardback version of this and the other 1917 style notebooks, not having the additional bulk is useful when using in a notebook cover. Cover is still thick and sturdy enough to provide a good level of protection.

Bought for my self - the expected Rhodia quality. Soft cover. Great for a fountain pen user such as I am. Normally I have used the hardback Webbie but this goalbook has some useful details such as page numbering, index and perpetual calendars.

Unfortunate ghosting using brightly coloured fine liners or highlighters, make sure you use a couple of back pages to test out colours before using. Really liked the cover colour I chose (silver) but very disappointed that cover area already separating from the binding at the spine and a corner. I had hoped to use this for the entirety of 2019 but do not see it lasting that long. Disappointed especially at the cost and other reviews!! I had hoped that I maybe got a faulty notebook that might be replaced but unable to request replacement. I had taken a long time to decide which notebook to buy but don’t think I will be spending my money on another one any time soon.

This is just okay.Pros:- nice colours and cover design (the soft cover is actually soft and nice material)- there are two ribbon bookmarksCons:- pages are really thin and just regular writing shows through on the opposite side. Really don't like that. Expected thicker paper and higher quality from this brand. Unsure if I can use this for the whole year due to this

This notebook feels beautiful in the hand. The 'leather' cover is soft and smooth to the touch and the paper is creamy and soft with no bleeding and very little or no ghosting from a variety of pens used. The dots could be a little lighter in colour, they stand out a little more than I would like when writing and drawings are on the page.
