Chunky Journals

I have a multi-year goal of copying the New Testament and this journal is perfect for that!

Love this chunky notebook. Well woeth the price. Will definitely be back for more :)

I have one in every size of TRP and cannot decide which I love the most! Tomoe River Paper had some issues with the paper - it feels like the coating is inconsistent as my fountain pen can leave bleed through in some areas sometimes and be perfect in others. No fauly of the chunky. I love that I can use half the book for a planner and half for my journal for the entire year with room to spare! Would love a hardcover option in A5. I also like to vertically split the page and would love an indicator of the center instead of counting the squares. A little concerned that, with the china tariffs, the book will become to expensive to purchase due to cost of mfr when it's pricey already.

Pros
Size (B6) , aesthetics, ample pages.
Cons
Tomoe paper is fragile and thin.
Cost
no return policy.

Summary:
It is challenging to find a B6 grid-type notebook with 1,000 pages! I really love that this book comes with so many pages!
However, I didn't like the Standard size in so many ways. It was bulky, difficult to write on, making it less appealing than the B6 due to its odd shape. Another negative is the thin pages! I was discouraged by how thin the pages are. I've even changed pen types so it doesn't bleed so much, but it's still very obvious that the pages are thin, so the writing bleeds through, making it less appealing. Lastly, I didn't like the fact that with the cost of the notebooks, it's not returnable. I can't use the standard, so it's taking up space in the bookshelf.

I bought 2 thinking I was going to like the Standard size and I don’t but I bought the B5 and adore it. I just ordered the A5 hoping it meets all my needs for planning and journaling but I just realized I am in love with hardcover books. I wish the chunky notebook came in an A5 with a hardcover. But other than that they are perfect.
