Amazing Budget BuJo!

I’m SO GLAD I started bullet journaling with this notebook! I could see marker very slightly bleeding through but the papers are thicker than some more expensive journals I’ve used, and the bleeding didn’t impact the aesthetic of the other page once I decorated it. I love that it’s spiral bound since I can lay it out flat. The plastic cover also protects the pages from ripping out, which is super helpful for a spiral bound notebook. I love the table of contents and that the pages are numbered…

Pros
  • Excellent for keeping track of daily habits and routines
Cons
  • Not available in different paper thicknesses

reasonably priced and good quality but my highlighters bleed

Very reasonably priced and my ink pens don't bleed. I use this for my planner. However, my highlighters bleed pretty heavily and can be very easily seen on the other side. The ink pens can very faintly be seen, but that is just the outline boxes I make for my planner but I actually appreciate this. I don't see my ink writing, just the boxes that I trace so this helps me out when making new boxes.The pages are a good thickness and they feel very nice. The pages could be a little thicker but I am

Pros
  • Ample space for creative expression
Cons
  • Limited paper quality

Best damn notebook/journal out there.

It's a little ridiculous how much I love this notebook. I've tried a lot of notebooks, journals and sketchbooks and never really found one that had everything. Until now. I'm big on thick paper and the paper quality in this notebook blows everything else out of the park. Those Leuchtturm and other fancy "bujos" - pshaw. Their paper is like tissue paper compared to the Ghost Grid Dot Journal. I have had no bleed through with any pen I've used. It's spiral bound, so it obviously lays…

Pros
  • Makes it easy to keep track of to-do lists and goals
Cons
  • Not available in lined or blank paper options

Good with some major flaws

I like that notebook/planner has an index printed in the front and I do like the dot grid. However, I really dislike that the pages come numbered already. It would have been better to leave a small space at the bottom of each page so that the user could number the pages themselves (mistakes happen and some of us rip our mistakes out). The pages are also not that thick. My fine liners blend right through the pages as did my stamp pads and I didn't spend time going over and over each letter, I'm…

Pros
  • Bright, clear white pages
Cons
  • Not water-resistant

This notebook is a win

It is unreasonably hard to find a dot grid spiral bound notebook that is 8.5x11 in size. This one is quite literally perfect. The ghost logo is adorable and the notebook is as durable as notebooks come. The pages are perfect: the thickness is on point and makes it so that I enjoy writing on them and things don't bleed through; the dots on the pages are visible but not annoyingly visible. On top of this, the notebook is made in the U.S. and it's a veteran run company. This notebook is a win in…

Pros
  • Distraction-free layout helps keep you focused
Cons
  • Too thick for some users

Bought this to use for my first bullet journal!

Pros:- Ordered the smaller one. Size is perfect and easy to use for a bullet journal.- The paper is thick enough so that the pens I use will not bleed through- The plastic cover keeps the journal from getting damaged and bent so easily- Content page is useful for organizing- Spiral spineCons:- Not a big fan of the curved edge. It's just a personal preference, and it's not that big of a deal though.- Numbered pages. It's useful, but you can't throw a page away if you mess up.- Cover design is…

Pros
  • the notebook is small, not very large, it is sturdy well sewn hope it lasts
Cons
  • Limited color options

Pretty Pleased good for me

I have a stationary/planner addiction and can NEVER find one that is what I want - so I have been playing around with making one. I started off using the variety of notebooks I have, which was OK but decided I should try dot journaling.TLDR: This is a good journal for the price, could there be one better, probably, but for the cost this works well.I got the 8.5x11 because I'd been trying to use something smaller and it just wasn't cutting it for me. I want to track my workout plan & my to-do…

Pros
  • Office & School Supplies
Cons
  • Inconsistent dot grid spacing

A very nice notebook

I've had this journal for a few months and it's exactly what I wanted. The spine rings are coated metal and holding up nicely to daily wear and tear. A clear matte plastic front and back cover keeps the whole thing nice. The dot grid pages are numbered, and there's 4 sheets in the front to create an index. the smaller size (approx 5.5Wx8.5H) is perfect for what I needed. I DO need to be mindful when I'm using markers so they don't bleed through, but it's not a problem with the average felt tip…

Pros
  • Versatile tool for all kinds of artists and creatives
Cons
  • Not available in different paper types

Love it so far - my new review

Love the way this looks, grid is small and pages are thick. Also love the plastic cover for both the back and front to protect it. I had been looking for a while for a graph or dot notebook that was spiral so it could lay flat and this is probably the best one I've found. Especially for about $8, great price! I like the smaller size a lot because it's easy to carry around with me. I've been playing around with different layouts and might want to buy the larger one as well to have space for…

Pros
  • Perfect for brainstorming and idea generation
Cons
  • Not suitable for inkjet printers

Perfect for starters!

This is my first bullet journal. The pages are fairly thick. My choice was between this one and the Lemome, but someone in the reviews of the Lemome said that the Ghost Grid has thicker pages.So far, I've only used my Pentel RSVPs, Staedtler Fine liners, and pencils. No bleeding from any pens or highlighters. I am scared to use my ink pens such as my Pentel gel pens or my Pilot PreciseV5s. Check others reviews to see pen tests.I love using stickers in this. They are somewhat removable…

Pros
  • Convenient dotted layout
Cons
  • Cover easily gets dirty and stained

Does the job for tons cheaper

New to bullet journal writing and didn't want to spend a billion dollars doing it. The pages are pretty thick. I used Sakura brush pens, Sakura Pigma Micron, Sharpie Pens and Inkjoy Gel Pens. No ghosting at all. You would have to go over the same lines a few times over before any bleeding takes place (or if you press down on the same spot long and hard enough). The pages are pretty thick (not card stock thick but a whole lot thicker than your average notebook paper). Otherwise, I really can't…

Pros
  • Great for anyone looking to improve their productivity and creativity
Cons
  • No option for digital backup or syncing across devices

Love! Will buy again

This is my first dot journal and I like to take it everywhere. The outer flaps are plastic which helps keep it clean. The large pages help me organize my thoughts because I just need space. I wish it had a pocket for keeping little stencils but not a deal breaker at all. Idk if all dot journals have a table of contents page but this one does. The 2 front pages are dedicated to it. Love it. I will buy again!

Pros
  • Sleek and professional design
Cons
  • Pages easily smudge and smear

A little thicker good for me

The only thing I would want more from this item is the paper being a bit thicker. that way the pens/markers I have don't bleed through. Granted, I have been using stencils and go over the same area. might be perfect for just writing.

Pros
  • Excellent for sketching and drawing
Cons
  • No sections or dividers

Great for bullet journaling, durable.

I use a modified bullet journaling system to keep myself organized at work. Most dot grid notebooks are half this size and don't lie flat, which makes them hard to write in (in my opinion). Most also have off-white paper, which I don't care for aesthetically, but I understand some people find it easier to read. I wanted a spiral-bound, full-sized, dot grid notebook with white pages, and after searching far and wide, found this. It's perfect. I mostly use it with a Sakura Pigma Micron pen and…

Pros
  • Provides a sense of accomplishment as you fill up the pages
Cons
  • Not suitable for art and drawing purposes

Must Have! best in my review

This is the ONLY bullet spiral journal I could find and it's made in the USA. Extremely affordable. They don't explicitly mention this cool feature, but it has a plastic cover separate from the paper cover to protect it from spills and such. It's great to put stickers on.

Pros
  • Sturdy back cover for added protection
Cons
  • Pages stick together

Paper is nice and thick.

Great quality paper. The clear cover page is made of a thick/good quality plastic(flexible but not flimsy). Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Made in USA, Proudly Produced in Ohio. Veteran-Owned.
Cons
  • Journal cover easily scratches

Great Quality: my feedback

I bought this journal to use as a planner / for organization and I love it! The front and back have a nice clear cover which allowed me to add my own design to the front and it still be protected. The pages are numbered and made of s

Pros
  • Ideal for bullet journalists, artists, and writers
Cons
  • No pocket for loose items

Large bujo, good quality, good price.

Paper is sturdy and not flimsy, minimal ghosting, and perfect size for my journal needs. This journal is very nice quality especially for the price and I had to do a lot of looking to find an 8.5×11, quality bullet journal at a reasonable price. I will purchase this item again.

Pros
  • Perfect for bullet journaling
Cons
  • Difficult to remove pages

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exactly what I was looking for

42 possible single spaced columns, by 56 possible rows for graphing or charting. Sturdy pages that ink doesn't bleed through easily. The two thick clear outer layers ensure the durability of the front and back cover. Love the large 8.5x11 layout. 42x56 grid

Pros
  • High-quality binding ensures that the pages stay together
Cons
  • No table of contents

This journal rocks!

I have tried a few different notebooks and this one is my favorite! The pages are decent weight and have very little bleed, the spiral bind makes it so easy to work with, the plastic cover on the front and back keep it safe when I toss it in my purse to take with me, the page count is perfect, the pages are numbered, the index is done for me. I was so excited that I left 30 pages blank in my last bullet journal, so that I could start using this one. This dot matrix journal will not disappoint.

Pros
  • Offers a creative outlet for busy professionals
Cons
  • No ribbon marker
