This is one of the 12 books in Piccadilly's "The System" series of journals.
The journals are 7.3" x 10.3" with 200 cream colored pages lined on one side in a 100gm wood free paper. The book has 2 satin ribbons and a flexible cover.
The size is a bit too large for me because I don't have many flat surfaces to write on. You can't fold the cover back and that makes it too large for me to use writing on my knee.
Cloth cover material feels good to the touch.
Line width is 7mm. The paper feels smooth, though maybe a little scratchy when using a fountain pen with a thinner nib.
The book pretty much opens and lies flat. I like the dual bookmarks - one for where you left off, and one to use as a placeholder from your earlier writings.
As a fountain pen user, I appreciate that they left the left hand side blank to allow a nice space for doodling, but I experienced bleedthrough with the water based fountain pen inks and that would probably be a bit of a distraction if you wanted to draw on a pristine surface.
There was slight feathering and spreading with most inks tested, and also a fair amount of bleedthrough which on 100g paper, is surprising.
All in all, this is a very nice, well made book and I would recommend it- but not necessarily for use with a fountain pen.
From the Piccadilly Website:
"The System is comprised of twelve journals.
You can use each journal as a stand alone subject, which interests you, or you can use it as part of the system for a life changing adjustment.
Here you can write from your very soul about what you think and feel, without being judged by anyone. Your writings are secure here, so relax and let go. When you commit something to paper, somehow it takes on a deeper meaning and a permanency in your life. So write easily and freely with no restrictions or limitations. Visualize what could be and make it your new reality."
You can order them for $11.21 each from the Piccadilly Website.
